Kenza is 15 years old and her little brother Mahdi 13 years old.  They regularly humiliate one another on social media in cruel ways. Today, as they travel by bus, Kenza puts her naive and romantic little brother to the test: to profess his love for Jada; a girl that Mahdi loves but that does not know him. Placed under pressure by his sister, Mahdi ends up confessing.

THE RIGHT WORDS was nominated for the short film Palme d'or at Cannes 2021.
