Nora travels from France to Algeria to bring her late grandmother home for burial \u2013 only to find that tradition dictates the funeral is a matter for men only. Left alone in the house with her grief and her anger, she eventually decides it\u2019s time to break the rules. Shot in warm colours and carried by a quiet, measured tone, the film reflects the conflicting emotions of a young woman caught between family expectations and the need to assert herself \u2013 and it speaks of the value of female solidarity in a patriarchal world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":44889,"template":"","movie_year":[806],"movie_genre":[629],"movie_cat":[880],"festival":[886],"class_list":["post-46572","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-806","movie_genre-spielfilm-2","movie_cat-films-for-kids-and-young-adults-en-2026","festival-886"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nNight Watchers -
