Milan, 9 September 2021 - “I AND THE STUPID BOY”, directed by Kaouther Ben Hania, is the 22^nd episode of Miu Miu Women’s Tales, the acclaimed short-film series which invites today’s most profound and original female directors to investigate vanity and femininity in the 21^st century.
“I wanted to create an impossible love story,” says the director. In fact, the story’s genesis originates when Kaouther once overheard a young girl in Paris shout desperately at a boy, “Give me back my phone!”.

What ensues is a universal 21^st century story of male-female power, sexuality and shame — with a biting, feminist twist. “I AND THE STUPID BOY contains a multitude of contemporary themes facing young women: technology and intimacy, toxic relationships and self-value, and how, as Kaouther puts it, “secrets become easily revealed in a single click.”
