Ramzi Slim

A night of insurrection in Tunis. Nothing is working anymore. Madness has taken hold of the capital and its suburbs. A kind of divine will brings Baya, Mosmar, and Oueld Janet together with the old man on the road to Tunis. Walking through the night, they decide to fight injustice.

Larger-than-life characters populate director Nejib Belkadhi’s spellbinding combination of film noir and magic realism, which follows a downtrodden orphan — now grown but still saddled with a cruel nickname — who has a reversal of fortune and takes on the thugs who control his ghetto.
