FOUR DAUGHTERS (LES FILLES D'OLFA), 2023
Tunisia | DCP, Color, 107’ | Arabic, French, English
Director: Kaouther Ben Hania
Cast: Olfa Hamrouni, Eya Chikhaoui, Nour Karoui

The film centers on the true story of a family mourning the disappearance of two sisters in Tunisia in 2015. Olfa Hamrouni's two daughters, aged 15 and 16, have disappeared one day, leaving her and her two younger daughters desperate. The director conveys the trauma through performance, using professional actors to portray Olfa and her daughters. Although Four Daughters was nominated for the “Best Documentary” award at the Oscars, what we see on screen is in fact a staged fiction that prompts us to question the reality we see on the screen.
