Têtes Brûlées
In Brussels, 12-year-old Eya (Safa Gharbaoui) lives a vibrant life, full of youthful cheekiness, viral dance trends, and much affection for her Tunisian-Muslim family. A bright spot is her inseparable bond with cool older brother Younès (Mehdi Bouziane) and his friends, equally adoring of her. When tragedy strikes, Eya finds herself unmoored in a new adult world. Director Maja-Ajmia Yde Zellama’s arresting debut zeroes in on the immediate aftermath of profound loss, where every gesture holds immense weight. Through a vividly realised child’s perspective that emphasises sincerity, ritual and music, moments of pain and joy can intermingle, as Eya realises what it means to carry love for someone collectively.
