As I Open My Eyes

By

Leyla Bouzid

With: Baya Medhaffar, Ghalia Ben Ali, Montassar Ayari, Aymen Omrani, Lassaad Jamoussi

Tunis, summer 2010, a few months before the Revolution: Farah, 18 years-old, has just graduated and her family already sees her as a future doctor. But she doesn’t think the same way. She sings in a political rock band. She has a passion for life, gets drunk, discovers love and her city by night against the will of her mother Hayet, who knows Tunisia and its dangers too well.
