"It’s most of all a portrait of a young man who is fragile, who has flaws and doubts" Leyla Bouzid

–
A true lesson on love, A Tale of Love and Desire is above all the sensitive story of Ahmed’s sensual awakening. This enchanting second feature film features brilliant performances by young acting duo Zbeida Belhajamor and Sami Outalbali. Leyla Bouzid brings all our senses into fusion to bring us a delicate coming-of-age story that masterfully redefines the words of its title in all of their inherent duality."
