Hedi
Directed by Mohamed Ben Attia
Produced by Tanit Films, Les Films du Fleuve
A intimate coming-of-age romance set against Tunisia's social upheaval, exploring the tension between tradition and personal freedom through one young man's unexpected encounter.
Young Tunisian Hedi lives an ordered life in which he believes there can be no more surprises. His future will play out as other people have planned, until he meets a young woman named Rim at a hotel in Mahdia Hediand. An ostensibly personal story broadens into a panorama of a society in upheaval, an allegory about breaking away from traditions. And a film about the happiness and pain of freedom.
