«La Travesée» a film for Nadia Touijer

Amin is an 8-year old who lives in a popular quarter in the heights of Tunis. He descends to the city to hand in his collection and hopes to be awarded a bicycle. Almost all alone he faces the metropolis. His journey proves to be more difficult than expected. There is something eminently modern in this initiation story: a subtle merging of documentary and fiction, a propensity to de-dramatize, an erasure of psychology and a very irregular breath which matches with the rhythm of the little child’s perambulation in the big city. Why does this boy, this foreigner to the big city, meet the glance of this tramp and not another one? The city is depicted without any disguise in its ugliness, and shot from the child’s point of view.

The technical quality of the downloaded film is better than the quality of the preview.
