Coloquinte (2012)

"Colocynth" is a wild plant which fruits give a very bitter pulp. This bitter taste is also the fruit of a language used by people who were born around March, 20, 1956, date of Tunisian Independence. These speeches of people of various age, sex, and ideologies, reveal the ill-treatment they experienced during the period of their detention at both physical and psychological levels. "Coloquinte" explores an inhuman past and aims at stopping the pain and bitterness, and making sure such atrocities will not happen in the future.
