Leyla Bouzid : 2015
As I Open My Eyes
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 have the same idea. She joins "Joujma", a political rock band, has a passion for life, drinks, discovers love and her city by night, all against the wishes of her mother Hayet, who knows Tunisia and its dangers all too well. But in her love life as on the scene, Farah goes further and further, without suspecting the danger of a regime that watches and infiltrates her privacy. Hayet will do anything to protect her, even revive the wounds of her own youth. Leyla Bouzid's feature debut was winner of the Europa Cinemas Label Prize and the People's Choice Award when it premiered in competition at Venice Days 2015.
