As the youngest of five sisters, director Samira El Mouzghibati is aware she inherited a painful legacy from the past. In response to a tragic incident that was kept quiet, her sisters formed a clan—a tightly knit bond from which their mother was excluded. Thus, when they spoke of her to Samira, they always referred to her as “your mother,” as though she were no longer theirs. For the very first time, we hear what the mother has to say.
