As I Open My Eyes
Drama
Tunis, summer 2010, a few months before the Revolution: Farah, 18 years old, has just graduated and her family already sees her as a future doctor. But she doesn't have the same idea. She sings in a political rock band, has a passion for life, gets drunk, discovers love and her city by night against the wishes of her mother Hayet, who knows Tunisia and its dangers all too well.
VIBE
A vibrant, defiant spirit clashes with suffocating expectations. This film pulses with youthful energy and the simmering tension of a nation on the brink, all seen through the eyes of a young woman determined to forge her own path.
