Overview

El Naffoura is a Tunisian drama that interweaves the stories of three women of different ages and backgrounds against the backdrop of the turbulent summer of 2013 and the Bardo sit-in. The three fictional narratives draw inspiration from real women who participated in those events, blending personal drama with documented historical footage from an era that defined post-revolutionary Tunisia. The film holds two journeys in parallel — the intimate emotional paths of its three protagonists, and the broader convulsions of a country navigating an uncertain transition. It is a quietly powerful work that honors the role of women at the intersection of private life and public history.
