Sisterhood

HLM Pussy

dir. Nora El Hourch
France, Morocco 2023 / 101’
subtitles

15-year-old girl posts a video showing her friend Zineb harassed by her brother’s best friend. The video unexpectedly goes viral and jeopardises the girls.

Amina, Djeneba, and Zineb go to the same school in the suburbs of Paris. They have always supported each other in their ups and downs. One of the girls records an incident involving her friend at a party and posts it on social media. For her, this is an act of solidarity, but the girls’ relationship is undermined. Their different ethnic, social, and cultural backgrounds suddenly become an issue. The film is a tribute to female loyalty which emerges stronger after being put to the test, and a powerful voice raising awareness about violence against women.
