Honey and Ashes
Directed by:
1996

The authentic narratives on Leila, Amina and Naima show how violence can damage human relations. This courageous film asks questions concerning oppression in relations between men and women, oppression provoked by a cultural, political or religious contemporary context.

Nénette and Boni
Directed by:
1996

This film describes in a remarkable manner the reality, dreams and fantasies of a brother and a sister. They are trying to overcome their isolation, their inability to communicate and their lack of love.
