Olfa is a Tunisian woman and the mother of four daughters. In 2015, her two eldest went missing. Filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania invites professional actresses to fill in for them, inventing a unique cinematic experience that will lift the veil from Olfa’s and her daughters’ life stories. An intimate journey of hope, rebellion, violence, and sisterhood that will challenge the very foundations of our societies.
