Set in the scenic coastal city of Sousse, Tunisia, this controversial and thought-provoking drama follows the fate of Roufa, a young man who dreams of escape to Europe. He is a sex worker who appeals to tourists’ desire for the exotic, although he remains betrothed to Khomsa. She in turn attracts the attentions of a visiting photographer. One of the first Arab films to deal with gay themes and gender segregation, it also grapples with the destructive impact of Western tourism on Tunisian society. Directed by Nouri Bouzid, 1992, 100 minutes, Drama, Tunisia, Arabic with English subtitles
