Tasnim
Elite Zexer
Tasnim, a strong and opinionated 10-year-old girl, lives with her mother and siblings in a Bedouin village in the Negev. A surprise visit from her father in the village forces her, for the first time in her life, to confront the conservative
norms of the family tribe and the fact that she is no longer »daddy‘s little girl«.
