Dolls and Angels

In this poignant and thought-provoking film, we follow the lives of a North African immigrant family residing in Paris, their struggles, and the complex dynamics between generations. As the head of the household, the father seeks to assert his authority over his two teenage daughters, Lya and Chirine, yet his methods often result in conflict. The girls, much like typical French adolescents, react with rebellion to their father's outbursts.As Chirine, the older sister, turns 18, she finds herself offered employment as a model, an opportunity that at first seems promising. However, as the story unravels, we see how this career path may not be as innocent as it initially appeared; instead, it might lead her into the dark and dangerous world of prostitution. This compelling narrative explores themes of family dynamics, cultural differences, and the harsh realities faced by young women in an urban environment.
