Maman(s) (lit. 'Mom(s)/Mother(s)') is a 2015 French short drama film written and directed by Maïmouna Doucouré. The film stars Sokhna Diallo, Eriq Ebouaney and Maïmouna Gueye in the lead roles. The film's plot centers on Aida, an eight-year-old girl, who is adjusting to the introduction of her father's second wife. The film was inspired by director Maïmouna Doucouré's own experiences with polygamy as a young child. The film was premiered at several international film festivals including the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, 2016 Sundance Film Festival and 2017 César Awards. The film jointly won the César Award for Best Short Film at the 42nd César Awards in February 2017 along with Alice Diop's directorial Towards Tenderness (Vers la tendresse).
