Part of the FRANCOPHONE FILM CELEBRATION

East Coast premiere

In the summer of 2011, in the immediate aftermath of Tunisia's "Jasmine Revolution," an upper middle class family's weekend in southern Tunisia turns into a nightmare when a bullet shot by armed terrorists penetrates their 10 year-old son's liver. A surprising story unfolds, resulting in an examination of the family's liberal and modern lifestyle, as well as how religious traditions impact established medical practices.

Speaker: Anjali Prabhu, Professor in Comparative Literature and French at Wellesley College, who works in postcolonial studies, Francophone studies, cultural theory (especially French theory), cinema studies, and African studies.

 

Directed by Mehdi Barsaoui

Tunisia, France, Lebanon, Qatar | Arabic & French with subtitles | 2019 | 95 min.
