In this warmly magical film about an immigrant family trying to survive in the face of adversities, sixty-year-old Tunisian immigrant Slimane wants to turn his life around by converting a wrecked tug into a port-side restaurant. His ex-wife’s fish couscous is the main attraction, but a lot more is cooking during opening night.
This remarkable film won, among others, the FIPRESCI Prize at the 2007 Venice International Film Festival, and received a Golden Lion nomination, and since then has won numerous awards including the 2007 Cèsar Awards for Best Director, Best Film, and Most Promising Actress. |
