The Female Demon

Directed by Hafsa Zinaï Koudil

Starring Doudja Achachi, Ahmed Benaissa

In Algeria, in 1991, amid the rise of fundamentalism, Ali, a family man, allows himself to be influenced by three extremists and drags his wife into a nightmare. For fundamentalists, "demons" can nestle within women, so they must be exorcised of this "diabolical" presence.
