In a Whisper (À voix basse)

Lilia returns to Tunisia for her uncle’s funeral, reuniting with a family unaware of her Parisian life—and the woman she loves. Amid mourning, old friends, and family secrets, Lilia confronts the truths she’s long evaded while unraveling the mystery behind her uncle’s sudden death. Leyla Bouzid weaves tenderness, love, and intergenerational conflict into a playful, intimate drama, blending hints of a detective story with formal flourishes. Anchored by a remarkable ensemble cast, including Hiam Abbass, In a Whisper explores desire, secrecy, and the courage to live authentically within the weight of family and tradition.
