Sinekatalog’s take

Nouri Bouzid's drama follows a Tunisian intellectual freed after years in prison, who finds the country and ideals he fought for have changed. Hichem Rostom is moving in a thoughtful, disenchanted portrait of lost illusions.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
