Synopsis
Yasmine, who struggles with Tourette’s Syndrome, leads a sheltered life and tutors at home, while her dream of becoming a teacher feels out of reach. Her world changes when her terminally ill father Abdulmalek, absent for 25 years, seeks contact to ask for forgiveness.
Note from the artistic direction
Holy Shit! follows Yasmine, a passionate young woman who dreams of being a teacher, but whose Tourette syndrome forces her to face the judgment of a society still unfamiliar with this type of disability. Inspired by a docu-series, this bold and heartfelt comedy features Mona Mina Leon (1985) in a dazzling performance. A coming-of-age story as funny as it is impactful, celebrating difference with accuracy, freshness and humanity.
