MENA Film Series - TENJA

Nordine is a son of a miner immigrant who has grown up in the North of France; he has to go back to his native village high in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco to bury his father according to his last will. A road movie in which Nordine meets various people… A first long feature film by this director, simple, austere sober, maintains a certain modesty… warm, peaceful. The wide landscape is greatly shot and the music, traditional Berber music, fits perfectly.

This event is free and open to the public.
