The 34th International Women's Film Showcase of Barcelona brings the traveling program "Known and Recognized" to the Conca d’Òdena region, specifically to Igualada. This initiative aims to bring the latest cinematic works by Catalan female directors to various municipalities.
The screening of the film, which lasts 70 minutes and was produced in 2025, focuses on Soumaya Hidalgo Djahdou's return to Algeria during Ramadan, after many years without seeing her family. Raised in Barcelona with her mother, Malika, Soumaya travels to her home country accompanied by her best friend, Berta Vicente Salas, who films the entire process.
The documentary explores the feeling of belonging to two cultures and the conflict and reconciliation between a young woman and her mother as they seek a new language to communicate. The session in Igualada is free of charge but requires prior reservation through the website www.ateneucinema.cat.
The Showcase in Conca d’Òdena is promoted by the equality departments of the municipalities within the Mancomunitat, in coordination with its gender equality area. The goal is to highlight women's contributions in various professional fields, especially in areas where they have been underrepresented, such as the audiovisual sector.
