SYNOPSIS

A riveting exploration of rebellion, memory, and sisterhood, Four Daughters reconstructs the story of Olfa Hamrouni and her four daughters, unpacking a complex family history through intimate interviews and performance to examine how the Tunisian woman’s two eldest daughters were radicalized.

Casting professional actresses as the missing eldest daughters Ghofrane and Rahma, along with acclaimed Egyptian-Tunisian actress Hend Sabri as Olfa, director Kaouther Ben Hania restages pivotal moments in the family’s life, interwoven with confessions and reflections from Olfa and younger daughters Eya and Tayssir that capture moments of joy, loss, violence, and heartache. Four Daughters is a compelling portrait of five women and a unique and ambitious work of nonfiction storytelling that questions the nature of memory, the weight of inherited trauma, and the ties that bind mother and daughter.

REVIEWS
“Arab voices in Western cinemas are all too rare, and FOUR DAUGHTERS is one of the best films of the year…”
G. Allen Johnson

San Francisco Chronicle

“The real-life subjects, taking the lead in the restagings, deliver a revelatory, poignant blend of drama, memory, and self-scrutiny.”
Richard Brody

New Yorker

“Rarely does Ben Hania’s film feel exploitative or manipulative. In fact, more than anything, FOUR DAUGHTERS is radical in its honesty and courage.”
