    Director’s Biography:

    After studying theater in Tunis and a first collective film made in 2014 – MEZZOUNA AFTER THE FALL, Saber Zammouri moved to Paris in 2017. He shot a documentary there and developed a fiction with his French partners. Between history, war, migration, conquests, etc., he draws the contours of the world from this small village perched in the mountains of southeastern Tunisia. His work transforms his village into a cosmos.
