Mediteranean story

The bitter - sweet moral is the basic virtue of this film reminding a version of Abu Hassan fairy tale. A Mediteranean story, because it can be Italian, Greek or ...Lebanese. In same measure, it can be a Balkan story. And this is the second good point - you can feel it, out of words, humor. Its tension, the desire to become star for a day, a secret with any chance to be secret, the other as tool of your succes or happiness, an imposible love story and the beautiful performance of Faoud Yammime. For me, the scene of mother looking to street remains the most precious. So, a film about people, in their naked behavior.
