A headstrong young woman in Tunisia bucks her parents and her repressive society in Leyla Bouzid's impressive debut.
Jay Weissberg, Variety
Overview
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.
