The Quiet Power of The Little Sister at Cannes

from Stories in Motion · host D & J

Fresh from the Cannes Film Festival, we dive into Hafsia Herzi’s The Little Sister — a tender, low-key coming-out story that challenges the trauma-heavy queer film canon. We unpack Nadia Melliti’s breakout performance, the film’s nuanced take on faith and identity, and why its subtle storytelling earned a 12-minute standing ovation.
