The French-Algerian filmmaker and politician Yamini Benguigui delves into her personal history archive in this semi-autobiographical drama. An emotional yet strangely vacant story of three sisters’ 30 years of torment from the kidnapping of their brother at the hands of an abusive father.
Centring on siblings, Zorah (Isabelle Adjani), Nohra (Maïwenn) and Djamila (Rachida Brakni), each a very different woman in their personalities, living in a cosmopolitan Paris. Zorah, a bohemian playwright and eldest of the trio, has a relaxed attitude to life until it comes to her work. Deciding to engage in a new play Zorah tells the story of her family struggles growing up at the hands of a violent and controlling Father becomes the root of further tensions between her mother and sisters. Djamila, being a prominent politician working for the voices of the Algerian and Muslim communities, does not want to air the family’s dirty laundry in public.
