Under the Fig Trees
Taht Alshajra / Erige Sehiriová / France, Germany, Switzerland, Tunisia 2021 / 92 min. / DCP
A day in the life of young female workers in the northwest of Tunisia, where generations, history, dreams and male and female perspectives collide under the fig trees. Debuting film director Erige Seheri has made a powerfully authentic piece that can be read as a metaphor for contemporary society or as a tribute to underprivileged women.
