âïž PROMIS LE CIEL by Erige Sehiri is now playing in Swiss cinemas. The film was part of the #ZFF2025 Border Lines section.
Three women migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa share a home in Tunisia. They take in Kenza, a four-year-old girl who survived a shipwreck. Amidst social tensions and everyday discrimination, a remarkable sisterhood emerges, with each woman striving to build a new life for herself. In her third feature film, director Erige Sehiri devotes herself to a story rarely told: Not of escape to Europe, but rather of the lives of migrant African women in their own continent â lives that are suffused with pain, hope, and solidarity.
