Tunis, summer 2010, a few months before the Revolution: Farah, 18 years old, has just graduated and her family already sees her as a future doctor. But she doesn't have the same idea.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A intimate portrait of a teenager burning with artistic ambition and hunger for life, caught between her own desire for freedom and her mother's protective grip rooted in real danger. The film captures the exhilaration and friction of that collision with the quiet dread of a country on the edge of upheaval.
