Luxbox Boards Religious Drama ‘Marie & Jolie,’ Starring Aïssa Maïga, Laetitia Ky (EXCLUSIVE)


Directed by Erige Sehiri, the drama explores the underground Evangelical community of Tunis.

Written by Sehiri, Anna Ciennik and Malika Cécile Louati, and produced by Henia Production and Didar Domehri of Maneki Films, the drama explores the quiet Christian communities in the predominantly Muslim metropolis of Tunis. Actors Aïssa Maïga (“Bamako”) and Laetitia Ky (“Night of the Kings,” “Disco Boy”) join newcomer Deborah Naney as women sharing a house that hides an Evangelical church. Focusing on a trio of women facing an increasingly complicated situation, the filmmaker more than ever demonstrates her talent to shed light on often-invisible stories.”
