The Little Sister (La Petite Dernière) (FFFUK)

This adaptation of Fatima Daas’ novel, set in a Paris suburb, is a coming-of-age story about a lesbian Muslim woman who is dealing with pushback from both her family and the outside world – and herself. The title role is played by debut newcomer Nadia Melliti, winner of Best Actress Award in Cannes 2025. Fatima’s awakening sexual identity is the main focus: as her school career is coming to an end, she hits the apps; she meets women at first almost like a journalist on assignment, quizzing one amused older women on the exact details of lesbian sex. This is Herzi’s third feature as director following 2021 Cannes Un Certain Regard title <i>Good Mother</i> and 2019 Critics’ Week debut <i>You Deserve a Lover</i>.DramaPT1H46MN/C 152025-11-20
