We meet Fatima, the teenage daughter of a Muslim family in the Paris projects, as she performs her ablutions, then kneels and prays in full hijab garb.  Yet the street-slang-slinging soccer-freak and resident tomboy is far from the Islamic ideal of womanhood, and it won’t be long before her truly “veiled” nature erupts and rises to the surface. Walking off with not one, but two major prizes (Best Actress and the Queer Palm) at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Hafsia Herzi’s stunning coming-of-age drama is deftly, quietly told and filled with nuanced performances across the board, as it plunges us into a devastating conflict between sexual desire, spiritual demands and self-acceptance, and the enormous courage it takes to utter the unspeakable.
