a film by :Mehdi Ben Attia

When Malik, 30, returns to Tunisia after his father's death, he has to live with his mother again. He'd like to tell her he's into guys, but he can't and he gets bogged down in his lies. When he meets Bilal, everything becomes possible. The young architect, his lover and his mother free themselves of taboos to fully embrace life. In the heat of the Tunisian summer, they touch the happiness they have long aspired to.

French Synopsis :

De retour en Tunisie, après la mort de son père, Malik, la trentaine, doit à nouveau vivre chez sa mère. Il voudrait lui dire qu'il aime les hommes, mais il n'y arrive pas et s'enfonce dans ses mensonges. Lorsqu’il rencontre Bilal, tout devient possible : le jeune architecte, son amant et sa mère s'affranchissent des interdits pour embrasser pleinement la vie. Dans la chaleur de l’été tunisien, chacun va toucher du doigt le bonheur auquel il a longtemps aspiré.
