LADIES SPOTLIGHT: THE LITTLE SISTER + AFTER PARTY

Seventeen-year-old Fatima, the youngest of three daughters in a French- Algerian Muslim family, begins her studies in philosophy in Paris. As she navigates urban life, secret same-sex encounters, and online dating, she grapples with emerging attraction to women, familial expectations, and her faith. Behind her secular cap lies the struggle to reconcile love and identity. A bond with Ji-Na, a Korean nurse, opens Fatima’s world, but also triggers inner conflicts and family tensions. Winner of the prestigious QUEER PALM at Cannes, The Little Sister, adapted from Fatima Daas's novel, is a delicate portrayal of queer coming-of-age, balancing intimacy and cultural identity with authenticity and grace.
