"Divertimento" (Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar, 2022)

With her twin sister Fettouma, a cellist, they face social and cultural obstacles when they enter an elite Paris music school.
Zahia wants to make classical music accessible to everyone and creates her own orchestra, Divertimento.
Based on the inspiring true story of Zahia Ziouani, one of the few renowned female conductors.
