How it feels
A Tunisian feature film shot in desert oases with limited resources. It follows people in a rural community and uses literary dialogue and songs that critics found unrelated to the story.

What happens
Om Abbes (arabe : أم عباس) est le seul long métrage du réalisateur tunisien Ali Abdelwahab. Tourné avec des moyens limités dans les oasis de Gafsa, Tozeur et Nefta, il n'a pas drainé beaucoup de public, selon Victor Bachy, car, discutable et discuté, il n'a tenu l'affiche que pendant deux semaines. On lui reproche notamment sa langue littéraire et la nature des chansons interprétées par Oulaya qui paraissent sans rapport direct avec le film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
