Drama

Young Tunisian Hedi lives an ordered life in which he believes there can be no more surprises. His future will play out as other people have planned, until he meets a young woman named Rim at a hotel in Mahdia Hediand. An ostensibly personal story broadens into a panorama of a society in upheaval, an allegory about breaking away from traditions. And a film about the happiness and pain of freedom.

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative drama about a man caught between societal expectations and personal desires. It feels like a gentle awakening, a slow unfurling of the soul against a backdrop of cultural shifts, offering both melancholy and a tender sense of hope.
