Overview

Amine, a solitary teenager, reluctantly spends time at the local boxing gym. To escape these painful hours, he fixates on Rayan, a young boxer who stirs unfamiliar desires in him. At night, after school, Amine uses photos of his cousin Sihem to become “Amina” and secretly chat with Rayan on social media.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A tense portrait of a teenager navigating forbidden desire through deception, filmed with intimate restraint. The film sits uncomfortably in the gap between Amine's internal life and his constructed online persona.
