Seventeen-year-old Fatima (Nadia Melliti) is the youngest of three daughters and treads carefully as she searches for her own path, torn between her emerging desires, her attraction to women, and her loyalty to her caring French-Algerian family. As she begins university in Paris, she dates, makes friends, and discovers a new world, yet a timeless and heartrending dilemma continues to confront her.

Based on Fatima Daas’ autofictional book The Last One (La Petite dernière), The Little Sister won the Best Actress Award for Nadia Melliti and the Queer Palm at Cannes.

Visions of Europe returns for its 5th edition, celebrating the breadth of European cinema with a handpicked selection of new releases, previews, festival hits and classics returning to the big screen.

This film is Pay What You Can. This scheme invites you to think about your own circumstances and what you can afford to spend at the cinema. Instead of our usual ticket types, for all Visions of Europe films we have a sliding scale with tickets at £4, £7, £10 and £15. Find out more.
