Halfaouine: Boy of the Terraces
Noura (Selim Boughedir, the director's nephew) is an inquisitive thirteen year old whose eyes are open to his own sexual desires when he visits the local Turkish bathhouse with his mother. Gazing upon the spectacular array of unclothed women and girls, Noura begins to experience his first pangs of longing. But just as Noura is awakened to the pleasures of the fair sex, he risks being wrested from their tender, affectionate companionship and thrust into the callous and rigid company of men.
