Tunisia, North Africa. Ali, a young man in his twenties, makes a precarious living selling contraband gas on the streets. Ali dreams of a better life for himself—but his domestic responsibilities step up when his father’s sudden death leaves him in charge of his two young sisters. With the family facing impending eviction, Ali seeks steadier work and a stable life. In a society fraught with corruption, however, only illicit opportunities present themselves, and Ali is confronted with a decision from which there may be no turning back. 'Harka' takes us to the streets of Sidi Bouzid in Tunisia, the cradle of the Arab Spring, and immerses us in the life of a family for whom chances and choices are running out fast. A debut of force and sensitivity, 'Harka' asks: what happens when your country is rich in resources, beauty and culture, but economic pressures still propel young people towards escape? What happens when a young man has everything to offer, but no one will give him the opportunity he needs? What happens to ordinary lives and families, after the revolution has passed? If its setting is specific, the themes of 'Harka' are universal. It reminds us that life can change in a moment and that everyone ultimately wishes to be seen.
