Tip from Cineville: Malmö Arab Film Festival

Alyssa, a rebellious 19 year-old girl, and her friend Mehdi — a shy and introverted 23-year-old young man — use their imagination to escape their unpromising reality. When they discover a contest in the south of Tunisia that may allow them to flee for real, they decide to undertake the road trip regardless of the obstacles in their way.

With Where the Wind Comes From, Tunisian director Amel Guellaty confirms her position as one of the emerging cinematic voices.
