Lingui, The Sacred Bonds

Amina lives with her daughter, 15-year-old Maria. When Amina learns Maria is pregnant and wants an abortion, they face an impossible situation in a country where abortion is legally and morally condemned. A “sumptuous masterwork and a powerful ode to the resilience of Chadian women, this quietly radical drama has all the healing warmth of a mother’s embrace.” (MUBI)
