   - Ala Eddine Slim the 6 November 2019 - 19:00

A young deserter fleeing the authorities thrusts his way into a strange forest where a pregnant woman from a wealthy family has just got lost. Based on these intertwined destinies, Ala Eddine Slim weaves an age-old, suave and toxic tale.

A. Slim has made, edited and produced his own dialogue-free movies for the past twelve years. In Tlamess (a Tunisian word meaning “enchantment”), only the eyes converse. Living, fleeing human beings     show themselves in all their states, strong and weak. This atmospheric movie embodies Tunisia’s fast-changing cinema industry. Lively and moving, it’s a movie about transfiguration, “the result of much weariness and love”, says the moviemaker.
