Writer/director Karin Albou explores the close relationship between two young girls, one Muslim and the other Jewish, living in Nazi occupied Tunisia in 1942. The exploration of their sexuality, impending marriages and shifting loyalties against the backdrop of war weave a textured coming of age story and a unique glimpse into two cultures. Ms. Albou’s prior film, “La Petite Jerusalem”, won best screenplay at Cannes, and LE CHANT DES MARIÉES (“The Wedding Song”) has received accolades at film festivals around the globe.
