Sweet Smell of Spring (2016)
In 2011 Tunisia, as the Arab Spring awakens, unemployed graduate Aziz, nicknamed Zizou, travels from his Saharan village to the big city of Tunis in search of a job. From television aerial installation to political intrigue, this fresh-faced young Candide will learn the ways of the world, fall in love with the ravishing Aicha, and become famous.
