About The Bookstore
After a few years spent in France and in the West Indies, Jamil comes home as a broken man. He arrives in a bookshop in the center of colonial Tunis for a temporary job as a clerk. He is attracted to Aicha, 15 years older woman and the mother of the book shop owner Tarak.
Directed by Nawfel Saheb-Ettaba, The Bookstore leans on a strong ensemble — Yadh Beji, Martine Gafsi, Ahmed Hafiane — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2002.
