Divertimento by Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar with Oulaya Amamra, Niels Arestrup and Zinedine Soualem.
At the age of 17, Zahia Ziouani dreamed of becoming a conductor and her twin sister, Fettouma, a professional cellist. Rocked since their earliest childhood by classical symphonic music, they in turn wish to make it accessible to all and in all territories. So how can you accomplish these ambitious dreams in 1995 when you are a woman, of Algerian origin and come from Seine-Saint-Denis? With determination, passion, courage and above all the incredible project of creating their own orchestra: Divertimento. Based on a true story.
