Sama (1988)

Sabra attempts to escape the restrictions of traditional family life in a poor industrial town in Southern Tunisia. She loves her nation and her culture but finds them suffocating. Néjia Ben Mabrouk explores this contradiction in her intelligent debut in which every angle, every camera move carries rigor and weight. Mixing present and past, the film features flashbacks to Sabra's childhood when, aged ten, she already rejects her culture's paternal hierarchy
