Ofa's Daughters

Why do secular mothers raise daughters of religious extremists? Several characters looked back on the past together, completed shocking self-analyses, and gradually approached the painful root cause of the family tragedy. Wearing a conservative headscarf and relying on God to counteract her mother turned out to be the only way for a girl to reverse the power relationship in the family. However, all their rebellion and resistance never freed them from the prison of social discipline and definition. This curse, repeated from generation to generation, is still happening today. Director Kausel Ben-Hanier breaks the boundaries between record and plot, combines performance with interpretation, and uses an ingenious form to make the theme reach the deepest part of people's hearts. The film won the Golden Eye Award for Best Documentary at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 96th Academy Awards.
