Nadia Fares, 86 minutes, Documentary, in Arabic with English subtitles, Switzerland, 2023.  

Three generations of women rebel against patriarchal prohibitions. In this cinematic letter, Swiss-Egyptian film director Nadia Fares pays tribute to her father as she recounts 75 years of women's struggles both in Egypt, her father's country, and in Switzerland, her mother's country, where she grew up. She explores the impact of patriarchal traditions in the East and the West, revealing them as mirror images.   

The film was nominated for the Prix de Soleure at the 2023 Solothurn Film Festival (Solothurner Filmtage).
