Kuopus

Kuopus (The Little Sister) follows Fatima, the youngest of three sisters, at the threshold of adulthood. The 17-year-old girl navigates between her awakening desires, her interest in women, and the expectations of her loving religious family.

When university begins in Paris, a new world opens up for Fatima: she makes friends, falls in love, and experiences love for the first time on her own terms. At the same time, she must confront a question with no easy answer - how can she remain true to herself when it seems impossible to reconcile the different parts of her identity?

The film had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 in the main competition, where it was awarded the Queer Palm prize and Nadia Melliti won the award for best female lead.
