Nora, a 15-year-old Martiniquan teenager, is forced to leave her familiar life behind and move with her mother and younger sister to care for her grandfather, Henri, who has been left paralyzed after a recent stroke. As the family settles into his isolated home in the north of the island, the atmosphere grows increasingly unsettling, and Nora is pulled back into fragments of childhood memories that blur the line between reality and something more disturbing.
Atmospheric and psychologically charged, Dorlis is a haunting coming-of-age drama that explores memory, fear, and the unseen forces that shape family bonds. The film has earned major recognition on the festival circuit, including Most Original Screenplay, Best International Film, and the Archibald McDonald Award for Best of GATFFEST, along with nominations for Best Directing and Best Cinematography. Directed by Enricka MH, Dorlis showcases her distinctive voice in contemporary Caribbean cinema, following her award-winning debut La K-Z.
