Aicha
6.8
Aya, thirty-year-old Tunisian, lives in Tozeur, a city in southern Tunisia, at the gates of the desert. Between social diktats, conservatism and disillusionment, Aya is not the happiest girl in the world. One day, a misfortune befalls her. Aya doesn't know yet that this will be the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to her. An unexpected opportunity for this young woman who sees her life completely questioned.
