The life of Olfa, a Tunisian woman and mother of four daughters, oscillates between light and shadow. One day, her two eldest daughters disappear. To fill their absence, director Kaouther Ben Hania calls upon professional actors to unveil and reconstruct the story of Olfa and her family.

The past makes an eerie return in Kaouther Ben Hania’s Oscar®-nominated documentary, which unveils the scars of familial trauma through a transfixing mix of fact and fiction. Under the dark clouds of estrangement and radicalisation, love and courage still bloom in this moving portrait of sisterhood.
