Starting university in Paris, she dates, makes friends, and explores a whole new world, all while confronting a timeless and heartrending dilemma: How can one stay true to oneself when reconciling different parts of one\u2019s identity feels impossible?\u00a0This fourth film by Herzi was nominated for the Palme d\u2019Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, and won\u00a0the Queer Palm. Hailed as a \u201clow key stunner,\u201d by the Hollywood Reporter, and praised by the Toronto International Film Festival for its\u2019 poetic sensibility and\u00a0 actress Nadia Melliti\u2019s transfixing performances, the film offers an intimate and quietly powerful portrait of identity, family, and self-acceptance."}
