DIE JÜNGSTE TOCHTER

Coming-of-age story about a young Muslim wo- man with the potential of a queer cinema classic.

17-year-old Fatima lives with her Algerian family in a Paris suburb. Starting in her last year of high school, we see how she slowly discovers her homosexuality, distances herself from her family, searches for her place in the world, and encounters inner conflicts along the way.

„The Little Sister“ is based on the autobiographical novel of the same name by Fatima Daas and celebrated its world premiere at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. With her third feature film, Hafsia Herzi has created a coming-of-age drama that never loses its way and touches the viewer on several levels. The protagonist and amateur actress Nadia Melliti was honored with the Best Actress Award in Cannes and the film deservedly won the Queer Palm.

We are delighted to open our 10th Queer Film Festival Munich with this gem and celebrate its Munich premiere.
