Tunis, summer 2010, shortly before the Tunisian revolution breaks out: 18-year-old Farah has just finished high school. Her parents want her to study medicine, but Farah sees things differently: she is enjoying her youth, discovering nightlife, and love. On top of that, she is the passionate singer of a political rock band. Her mother Hayet, once also rebellious, tries to curb Farah's youthful enthusiasm. She knows the dangers of the Tunisian political world all too well... Leyla Bouzit, the director, created a dazzling, expressive coming-of-age set at a pivotal moment of Tunisian history. According to Indiewire, this is by far the best film about the Arab Spring so far. Note the stellar soundtrack. The film won several major awards, including the audience award at the latest Venice festival.
