Le Poisson Noyé, is a 2008 Tunisian movie, directed by Malik Amara, and starring Fethi Akkari, Fatima Ben Saïdane, Sondos Belhassen. with a runtime of 18 minutes.
Le Poisson Noyé, known in Arabic as Yamoto Al-Hout, is a North African philosophical fable that defies easy categorization. The film follows an old, morally reprehensible fishmonger who dies and inexplicably comes back to life multiple times, each resurrection deepening the intrigue and disquiet among his fellow villagers. What begins as curiosity soon gives way to superstition and collective anxiety, as the community becomes convinced that nature must ultimately reclaim what is rightfully hers. Blending dark folklore with subtle social commentary, the film uses the premise of repeated death and revival to examine human nature, community judgment, and the tension between modern reason and ancient belief in a timeless rural setting.
