Une histoire d’amour et de désir [A Story of Love and Desire] (Leyla Bouzid, 2021, Tunisia/France, 102 min.)
“Ahmed, 18, French of Algerian origin, grew up in the suburbs of Paris. At the university, he meets Farah, a young Tunisian girl, full of energy, who has just arrived in Paris. While discovering a collection of sensual and erotic Arab literature he never imagined existed, Ahmed falls head over heels in love with Farah, and although literally overwhelmed with desire, he will try to resist it.” (Cannes Film Festival-Semaine de la Critique)
