    A Tale of Love and Desire

    Leyla BOUZID 2021 France b/w 102min French DCP
    18-year-old Ahmed, French of Algerian origin, meets Farah, a young Tunisian girl, at the university. While discovering a corpus of sensual Arabic literature, Ahmed falls deeply in love with Farah, but he tries to resist it. Through the romantic encounter of Ahmed and Farah, A Tale of Love and Desire challenges the clichés on Arab culture imposed by colonial regimes and pays tribute to 18th century Arab erotic literature.
