Halfaouine: Boy of the Terraces

Overview

Twelve-year-old Noura navigates the challenging transition from childhood to adolescence in a Tunisian village. His awakening desires have led to a ban from the women’s baths, a place he once frequented with his mother. Yet, he is still too young to engage in adult conversations with the village men. Noura finds companionship with Salih, a rebellious outcast who adds a spark of mischief to his life. As he grapples with his identity and burgeoning sexuality, Noura's journey reflects the universal struggle of growing up.
