Samia
Synopsis
Fifteen-year-old Samia lives in Marseille’s periphery.
Sixth in a family of eight children of Algerian descent, she suffocates in the moralistic atmosphere made oppressive by beliefs and rules she respects but no longer shares…
Yacine, her unemployed older brother, justifies himself by upholding family and religious traditions. Older sister, Amel, has excluded herself from family life by her involvement with a boy from a different cultural background. Samia’s other sisters are completely focussed on academic achievement…
And Samia, a series of school failures in her wake, forced to take up technical studies that don’t suit her, obliged to keep her first romance secret, becomes aware that it’s absolutely necessary that she alone decides just what to do with her life.
