Upon The Shadow

Amina Sboui (ex-Femen), decides to welcome gays and transvestites in her house, rejected by their relatives, humiliated by their neighborhood and above all threatened by the police. Amina will unwittingly create a real refuge for "Sandra", "Ramy", "Ayoub" and "Atef", and take their defense as she did for women! It is through the daily life of the inhabitants of this refuge, taken to the heart of "Nada Mezni Hafaiedh", that we immerse ourselves without filter into the deep distress of the LGBT community in Tunisia. A militant and punchy film.
