La Petite Dernière

The seventeen-year-old Fatima is the youngest daughter in a Franco-Algerian family. As a young woman, she finds herself at a crossroads in her life and embarks on a life-changing, yet often lonely exploration of her sexuality, her faith, and her identity. With the end of high school in sight, the lesbian Fatima is threatened by the pitfalls of a heteronormative existence. Once studying and clad in black clothing, she meets women at night under a pseudonym. In doing so, she builds a wall that excludes others and keeps herself trapped. But then she meets the nurse Ji-Na and falls in love. 

La Petite Dernière (based on the autofictional novel by Fatima Daas from 2020) is a calm, powerful reflection on how difficult self-acceptance can be.
