J’ai le cœur brisé Le mélange entre film et document le rend encore plus original et poignant
Très intéressant Le procédé cinématographique qui montre le documentaire entrain de se faire est très intéressant Bouleversant car c'est l'autorité de la mère qui a été trop dure avec ses filles de peur qu'elles ne salissent leurs corps qui a poussé les deux aînées à prendre le hijab pour se rebeller avant de se faire enrôler
