Why we chose it

This enchanting second feature film features brilliant performances by young acting duo Zbeida Belhajamor and Sami Outalbali. Leyla Bouzid brings all our senses into fusion to bring us a delicate coming-of-age story that masterfully redefines the words of its title in all of their inherent duality.

Synopsis

Ahmed, 18, French of Algerian origin, grew up in the suburbs of Paris. At university, he meets Farah, a young Tunisian girl, full of energy, who has just arrived in Paris. While discovering a collection of sensual and erotic Arab literature he never imagined existed, Ahmed falls head over heels in love with Farah, and although literally overwhelmed with desire, he will try to resist it.
