The Little Sister

Post-screening Happy Hour with 50% off wine and beer

Nominated for six César Awards. Nadia Melliti—Best Actress, Cannes Film Festival.

Fatima is 17, the youngest of three sisters, searching for her own path in life. Starting university in Paris, she dates, makes friends, and opens herself to a new world—wrestling with her sexuality and her loyalty to the French-Algerian family she loves. A timeless, heartrending coming-of-age story.

Join us for a post-screening Happy Hour at Take 3 Wine Bar & Café—just show your ticket at the bar to get 50% off wine and beer from our menu. Meet your neighbors, make new friends, and raise a glass to queer cinema!

"A complicated overflow of human recognition, one that’s as real as the beating heart and as earned as The Little Sister makes it feel."
Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
"French filmmaker Hafsia Herzi has a sensitive touch with actors. In her warm and absorbing drama The Little Sister, she coaxes quietly powerful work from Nadia Melliti as Fatima."
Justin Chang, The New Yorker
