Alyssa, a rebellious 19 year-old girl, and her friend Mehdi — a shy and introverted 23-year-old young man — who use their imagination to escape their unpromising reality. When they discover a contest in the south of Tunisia that may allow them to flee for real, they decide to undertake the road trip regardless of the obstacles in their way.

The Tunisian short film "Pourquoi moi?" (علاش أنا؟), written and directed by Amine Chiboub, is a 13-minute social comedy produced in 2011 by Atlas Vision. Presented in Arabic with French subtitles, the film ironically explores how bad moods spread in an urban environment.

A story of a dream that turned into a nightmare, the description of a democratic effervescence that has turned to theocratic regression.
