Synopsis
The life of Olfa, a Tunisian mother of four, transforms one day when her two eldest daughters run away to join the Islamic State in Libya. In this blend of reality and re-enactment that summons professional actors as well as Olfa herself and her youngest daughters, the documentary weaves an intimate interrogation of intergenerational violence, rebellion, and womanhood.
