A critically acclaimed family drama from the multi-award winning Tunisian director Abdellatif Kechiche (Blue is the Warmest Colour).
The film follows 60-year old shipyard worker Slimane Beiji as he attempts to realise his dream of converting a dilapidated boat into a family restaurant specialising in fish couscous. However, the odds appear to be stacked against him: financial difficulties, state bureaucracy and an unruly extended family.
