Synopsis
In Halfaouine,a neighbourhood of Tunis, young Noura, finely interpreted by the nephew of the director, is divided between several worlds: that of men in the streets, the women, with whom he can still share the hammam, despite his puberty approaching, and his imagination, in which he fears the transition to adult life. Boughedir depicts a vibrant portrayal of life in Tunisia, highlighting the nuanced and intricate dynamics of male and female relationships within the country. The boy discovers the pleasures of life as their family adopt a teen girl. The boy tries whenever he has a chance to see her unclothed body. After three or four attempts the boy succeeds.
