Plot

At the time of Tunisian independence, owners of large boats decide to sell, while many small fishermen soon find themselves without work. Their wives then decide to pool their gold rings to sell them and thus buy boats.

Sinekatalog’s take

After Tunisian independence, boat owners sell up and small fishermen lose work, so their wives pool their gold rings to buy boats. A short, engaged documentary about solidarity, with a clear sympathy for working women.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
