Under the fig trees / a film by Erige Sehiri.
On a hot summer day, a crew of workers men and women, young and old arrive at dawn at a picturesque fig orchard in northwest Tunisia. We eavesdrop, through the sun-dappled leaves of the fig trees, on the young women stealing away precious moments from the foreman's watchful gaze. Meanwhile, the older women, tasked with packing the tender fruit, watch and reminisce together as well. They joke, argue, debate, gossip, and flirt while painting an unhurried but riveting portrait of everyday life in rural society, where class, gender, and circumstance often don't allow for such personal freedoms.
