- Summary:
- Fatima lives on her own with two daughters to support: 15-year old Souad, a teenager in revolt, and 18-year old Nesrine, who is starting medical school. Inspired by a true story and the poetry of the North African writer Fatima Elayoubi, who immigrated knowing very little French and slowly taught herself the language. A patient, reflective study of a woman pressured by her children and her neighbors alike to assimilate into a culture of which she's wary. Official Selection at the **Cannes Film Festival.** Winner of the Best Film, Most Promising Actress and Best Adaptation Award at the **César Awards.** *"Honest, direct and dramatic without any sense of special pleading or situations pushed too far." - Kenneth Turan, **Los Angeles Times*** *"A small miracle of a film from the French director Philippe Faucon." - Stephen Holden, **The New York Times***
