Carthage Film Festival—Golden Tanit, Best Supporting Actress
“Exhibits a sophisticated self-consciousness...with the street reality of ROME, OPEN CITY.”—Washington Post
Twenty-five-year-old Bahta (Lofti Abdelli) has no job, no degree and no prospects. His one passion is breakdancing, but even that outlet is regularly repressed by the police. After attracting the attention of a group of fundamentalists, Bahta is recruited into the violent and dangerous world of terrorism. This 2007 Tribeca Film Festival award-winner for Best Actor and Best Screenplay is directed by Nouri Bouzid.
