Carried by strong and nuanced performances, the film offers a rare perspective on the lives of immigrants in Tunisia – one seldom seen on the big screen.

Told with a poetic gaze and near-documentary authenticity, the film lets everyday moments unfold and allows silence to speak as loudly as dialogue. Themes of migration, racism, and belonging are explored with empathy and complexity, without easy answers.
