À voix basse

Lilia has built a life of her own in Paris, far removed from her family's expectations. When she returns to her childhood home in Tunisia, time seems to stand still: familiar rooms, long-standing rituals and three generations of women bound together by what remains unspoken. But her homecoming unsettles the family. The death of her uncle raises questions no one is willing to answer. The more persistently Lilia searches for the truth, the deeper she is drawn into a web of silence and cryptic hints.

With «À voix basse», director Leyla Bouzid returns to her native Tunisia, casting a perceptive eye on social structures and family traditions. Carried by a powerful female ensemble featuring Eya Bouteraa, Hiam Abbass and Marion Barbeau, the film unfolds as an intimate family portrait about unspoken truths and the quiet longing for understanding.
