Oura el jbel – Behind the Mountains - Dietro le montagne Regista: Mohamed Ben Attia (Copia)

Flying is a human chimera from epic times starting from the story of Daedalus and Icarus.

Even in Tunisia there is a desire to fly. The country is in full economic and political chaos. To escape, a Tunisian must look at the sea, or look at the sky.

Rafik, the protagonist of the film Oura el jbel - Behind the Mountains by Tunisian director Mohamed Ben Attia reverses the role of the myth of Daedalus and Icarus. Rafik is his father, and he wants to fly beyond the law of gravity, even involving his son, who would instead like to escape.

The film was presented at the 80th Venice International Film Festival, with the co-production of Jean Pierre and Luc Dardenne.
