The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 113 minutes.

What it is about

Back in Tunisia for her uncle's funeral, Lilia reunites with a family that knows nothing about her life in Paris, particularly her romantic life. Determined to uncover the mystery behind her uncle's sudden death, Lilia finds herself confronted with family secrets.

What to expect

Part of the 2026 Hong Kong Lesbian & Gay Film Festival. Lilia returns to Tunisia for a funeral and walks straight into a family that knows nothing of her life in Paris — least of all who she loves. Director Leyla Bouzid uses that collision to pull at the threads of a sudden death and the secrets stitched around it. French dialogue, English subtitles, 113 minutes. A festival title with limited sessions; check listings carefully for dates and venues. Certificate and format are not yet published.
