Money, money, money! The way they speak about money shows their greedy side of making quick money no matter what they do. The magic moment of the movie will be the scene where Dounia asks Maimouna to take a ride in her invisible Ferrari. Houda Benyamina, the elder sister directs the movie and the younger sister Oulaya Amamra handles the lead role of Dounia. Benyamina knows the brighter side of Oulaya and That's the main reason why Oulaya's performance looks brilliant. It won Caméra d'Or award at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. Overall, The movie shines at it's best when the lead characters were happy and try this movie if you like coming-of-age stories.
