Philippe Faucon : 2015
Fatima lives alone with her two daughters, Souad, 15, a rebellious teenager, and Nesrine, 18, who is starting medical school. Fatima doesn't speak French well, a great frustration to her in her daily relations with her daughters. At the same time, her girls are her motivation and her pride as well as a source of worry to her. In order to give them the best possible future, Fatima works irregular hours as a house cleaner. One day, she falls down a flight of stairs. Whilst she is off work, Fatima starts writing to her daughters in Arabic, telling them everything she hasn't been able to express in French. Philippe Faucon's feature premiered at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at Festival de Cannes 2015.
