Hia w'Houa, is a 2006 Tunisian movie, directed by Elyes Baccar, and starring Mohamed Ali Ben Jemaa, Anissa Daoud. with a runtime of 82 minutes.
Hia w'Houa is a short Lebanese drama that explores the fragile interior world of a man who has sealed himself off from life, spending months as a recluse in his apartment. His carefully maintained isolation is disrupted when a young woman comes to his door — an unexpected presence he finds himself unable to escape. The film is a quiet, intimate study of loneliness and the involuntary connections that can crack open even the most fortified solitude. With minimal dialogue and a chamber-piece aesthetic, Hia w'Houa draws on the charged tension between its two characters to ask what it costs a person to close themselves off from the world, and what it takes to draw them back.
