We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
This film is a layered commentary on marriage, family life, medical practices, and life in post-revolution Tunisia. Thematic messages are evoked subtly through an effortless plot and and an intense psychological examination of the main characters. The acting performances put this film over the top and make this film a must-watch.
