Synopsis
Under the Fig Trees / تحت الشجرة / Sous les Figues
Over the course of one day women and men, young and old, work in a fig orchard under the watchful eye of the foreman. They are restless and eager in the summer heat, stealing away from work to catch up, gossip and flirt. Each encounter is ripe with discovery and connection. Sun-dappled and sensual, Erige Sehiri’s fiction debut captures the strength of sisterhood, promise of young love and the sorrows of life with remarkable intimacy and tenderness.
Under the Fig Trees | 2021 | Director: Erige Sehiri | France, Germany, Switzerland, Tunisia | 92 mins | Arabic and Spanish (English subtitles)
Additional Info
We've been away a while.
Join us for a test screening and the return of Maghreb Ciné where we'll be screening the Tunisian drama, Under the Fig Trees (directed by Erige Sehiri).
This event is not just about the film - it's a significant moment for us. It's our first event back after a long absence and marks a soft relaunch of our film club and a desire to bring back spaces to help bring together a community we miss.
The event also serves as a crucial test run and, with that in mind, your attendance and feedback will help us polish our comeback to ensure things are perfect for future screenings.
We're so happy to be back and can't wait to see you!
