With “Under the figs”, Erige Sehiri thwarts the clichés about Tunisian rural youth


“Under the figs” by the Franco-Tunisian Erige Sehiri thwarts the clichés about Tunisian rural youth.

When the cinema thwarts the clichés and shows young rural, modern and connected Tunisian women in a conservative Tunisian region: this is the case of the film ” under the figs “, which will be released this Wednesday, November 7 in theaters. This is the first fiction feature by a self-taught director, the Franco-Tunisian Erige Sehiri. And since his selection in the Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival, he has won trophies. Like recently with the Silver Tanit at the Carthage Cinematographic Days.
