Heaven Will Wait

Sonia, 17, has been on the brink of making an irreparable mistake to guarantee a nice life for her family. Melanie, 16, lives with her mother. She likes school and her school mates, plays the cello and wants to change the world. In the last years, due to how sadly present this fact is and how reality permeates cinema, we are receiving varied films focusing on the different recruitment mechanisms of radical movements. Director Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar offers her take on the roots of Yihadism in French youth nowadays, through the story of two teenage girls disconnected from their families who get little by little closer to Daesh in a perfectly logical way for them which their loved ones can’t understand.
