Synopsis

Soon to be a major motion picture, launching at Cannes Film Festival 2025

The youngest daughter of Algerian immigrants, Fatima Daas is raised in a home where love and sexuality are considered taboo and signs of affection avoided. Living in the majority-Muslim Clichy-sous-Bois, she often spends more than three hours a day on public transport to and from the city, where she feels like a tourist observing Parisian manners. She goes from unstable student to maladjusted adult, doing four years of therapy - her longest relationship. But as she gains distance from her family and comes into her own, she grapples more directly with her attraction to women and how it fits with her religion, which she continues to practice. When Nina comes into her life, she doesn't know exactly what she needs but feels that something crucial has been missing.

The Last One is a bombshell that examines the question of identity with subtlety and passion.’ - Elle

'Beautifully drawn... you can inhabit a host of seemingly clashing identities at once.' -The Guardian
