Nadia Kaci

Official Selection - Karlovy Vary FF. A story of old and young Algeria told through the lens of a mom and daughter hiding out from local terrorists.

Set in 1990s Algeria, an aspiring young clothing designer pushes back against conservative policies by putting on a fashion show at her university.

This is the story of Fara, age 30, out of work, with no place of her own and no boyfriend, but with a severe case of myopia. And with her grandmother, mother, and sister nagging her 24/7, it's time she starts making her own choices, believing in her own stories, and finally facing the truth. When life's a series of slaps in the face, you've got to take control and stop being a miskina.
