The film is an international co-production between Tunisia, Belgium, France, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. [1] It was co-produced by the Dardenne brothers. [2] It has been described as 'the culmination of an informal trilogy from Mohamed Ben Attia', consisting of director's previous efforts Hedi (2016) and Dear Son (2018). [1]
The film premiered at the Horizons section of the 80th Venice International Film Festival. [3] [4] It was later screened in other festivals, including the BFI London Film Festival, [5] the Red Sea International Film Festival, [6] the Gothenburg Film Festival, the Marrakech International Film Festival [7] and the Thessaloniki International Film Festival. [5]
According to Screen International critic Lee Marshall the film is 'a striking piece of filmmaking that lingers stubbornly in the mind' and a 'further proof of the current vitality of North African cinema'. [2] Carlos Aguilar from Variety described it as an 'unorthodox, yet fascinating [...] unpredictable oddity of a film'. [8] Libération critic Laura Tuillier referred to it as 'often untidy, messy and bordering on the ridiculous, [...] yet rich in its narrative daring, and in its hot-headed approach'. [9]
