Water Rumours

The film centers on an exiled man who returns home, grappling with his tumultuous past as a lover and a militant. It weaves a narrative that reflects on the daily life in Sidi Bou Said, capturing the essence of a new opera house in the wake of the Tunisian revolution.

Water Rumours not only revisits personal histories but also revisits artistic aspirations, referencing the unfinished work of The Opera Didon and Aeneas by Purcell. This connection to a classic opera underscores the film's deeper exploration of identity and belonging in a changing society.
