Les chenilles

Asma and Sarah, two women originally from the Levant, find themselves working in the same restaurant in Lyon, France. Both bear the weight of a home they were forced to leave behind. Initially wary of each other, they gradually discover a common thread that binds them - one that dates back to when the Silk Road connected Lyon to their home countries.

Winner of the Golden Bear at the 2023 Berlinale.
