Synopsis
In this astonishing and poignant film, director Kaouther Ben Hania (The Man Who Sold His Skin) blends documentary and fiction to tell the story of Olfa and her four daughters. One day, her two eldest daughters disappeared without a trace. To fill their absence, the director calls upon professional actors and sets up an extraordinary film mechanism to try to unveil the story of this family.
Combining direct interviews with re-enactments, this is as much of a documentary about this family and their shared trauma as it is a documentary about the very process of filmmaking. The result is an intimate, yet devastating, journey of hope, rebellion, violence and sisterhood.
An astounding journey that will linger long after it ends.
