Fatima, 17, the youngest of three daughters, treads carefully as she searches for her own path, grappling with emerging desires, her attraction to women, and her loyalty to her caring French-Algerian family. Starting university in Paris, she dates, makes friends, and explores a whole new world, all while confronting a timeless and heartrending dilemma: how can one stay true to oneself when reconciling different parts of one’s identity feels impossible?

Winner of the best actress award, to Nadia Melliti, and the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival.
