Film: "Under the Fig Trees" (2021-93 min.)

On a hot summer morning, a crew of workers arrive at a fig orchard in northwest Tunisia. Through sun-drenched eaves, the youngest of the women steal precious moments of respite away from the foreman's watchful gaze. Meanwhile, the elders, tasked wit the job of packing the tender fruit, watch them and reminisce. First-time producer/director Erige Sehiri scripted with Ghalya Lacroix and Peggy Hamann. In Arabic with English subtitles. A Film Movement release.
