That Lovely Girl (French: Loin de mon père (lit. Far from my father), Hebrew: הרחק מהיעדרו) is a 2014 Israeli-French drama film directed by Keren Yedaya, starring Meyen Turgeman, Tzahi Grad, and Yael Abecasis in the lead roles. It was selected to compete in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.

Why this record matters

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17052686. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014.
