Kinostart und Premierentour A SISTERS' TALE

Great news: A SISTERS' TALE by Leila Amini opens in cinemas on December 19th! A premiere tour with special screenings will begin in French-speaking Switzerland on December 10th.

Leila accompanies her older sister with her camera for seven years. She witnesses the liberation process of a woman who rediscovers her voice as a singer and self-determined individual: From a vulnerable spouse, Nasreen transformed into a woman who takes her destiny into her own hands. Nasreen's emancipation leads to fundamental changes for her children, her sisters and her mother. And inspires many of her contemporaries, in Iran and beyond, to take their future into their own hands.
