Faouzi Chelbi - Tunisia
A poetic mention of the renowned tunisian film «Essaida», that preserved its former radiance over the past quarter century. This narrative, imbued with the timeless and colourless fluids of sorrow and ambition, depicts the Essaida neighbourhood of the present time. A painter aspiring to complete his mural painting, a blind musician striving to compose his melody, an unfortunate man who could not deliver the requested cakes. Beyond the story, there is a documentary structure that portrays the reality of the neighbourhood and the authority of the location.
