Series

The story of secular journalist Emna and Islamist Parliament member Jawhara, two women with opposing political views who fight for their different versions of a democratic future for Tunisia, the country that kicked off the Arab Spring revolutions. Over the course of the film, the women mature from young idealists to adults with responsibilities who must make difficult choices. Their process mirrors the larger changes in their country, which—in deep contrast to many of its neighbors—is on the way to its first democratic presidential election.
