Divertimento

Two 17-year-old twin sisters, Zahia and Fettouma, respectively dream of becoming a conductor and a cellist. Growing up listening to classical musical and full of determination, they want to make it accessible to everyone, everywhere. Living in Seine-Saint-Denis and of Algerian descent, they realise that the task is ambitious.
