Halfaouine: Boy of the Terraces

(1990)Directed by Férid Boughedir98 minComedy, Drama

In the Tunisian neighborhood of Halfaouine, twelve-year-old Noura (Selim Boughedir) is too old for the women's baths where his mother Jamila (Rabia Ben Abdallah) used to take him. He is also too young to sit with the men, and his growing libido keeps him stuck between the two. Férid Boughedir follows him through the village alongside his one real friend, Salih (Mohamed Driss), as Noura waits for someone to tell him where he belongs.
