Synopsis
The 1990s. Eighteen-year-old Lina arrives in Paris to study. She has come to find what she has never found in her homeland of Lebanon: a certain kind of freedom.

Because, when you are eighteen years old, you dream of embracing the whole world and not just a single boy..

About
ELLE
With this film, Danielle Arbid sketches a very accurate portrait of France in the1990s.
LIBERATION
All the charm of Parisienne, Danielle Arbid's finest film to date, lies in the politically basic but reassuring message defending integration that underlies its simplicity and broad appeal.
STUDIO CINE LIVE
Love and politics combine in this film as spirited as it is moving.
LE MONDE
Parisienne (...) has joy in its heart like its heroine.
SCREEN INTERNATIONAL
Utterly bittersweet, sexy in places and brutal in others, Danielle Arbid’s Parisienne (Peur de rien) is both educational and entertaining
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
Director Danielle Arbid's semi-autobiographical film stars impressive newcomer Manal Issa as a young Lebanese woman who struggles to survive in Paris by herself.
