Four Daughters
Kaouther Ben Hania / FR, TN, DE, SA, CY, 2023 / 108 min.
Intriguing mix of documentary and fiction: director Ben Hania reconstructs the disappearance of two radicalised Tunisian sisters on the basis of interviews with their other sisters and mother who were left behind, with actors playing the missing sisters. Is It possible to put pain into words?
Mother Olfa Hamrouni and her younger daughters Eya and Tayssir are mourning the disappearance of her two eldest daughters, Ghofrane and Rahma. They became radicalised and joined Islamic State extremists in Syria. Will the two older sisters ever return home?
