About the Event

OURA EL JEBEL (BEHIND THE MOUNTAINS)
R: Mohamed Ben Attia; Tunesien/BE/FR/IT/Saudi Arabien/Katar 2023; OmeU; DCP; 98 min. 

Rafik, ein gewöhnlicher Mann, schien ein geregeltes Leben zu führen – er war verheiratet und Vater eines Jungen. Nach einem unerklärlichen Ausraster gelangt er ins Gefängnis. Vier Jahre später, als er aus dem Gefängnis entlassen wird, entführt er sein Kind, Yassine, und bringt es in die Berge. Er will ihm die Augen für eine andere Welt öffnen. Durch die Vermischung der Genres Fantasy und Psychothriller stellt OURA EL JEBEL die soziale Ordnung und Rationalität in Frage. In seinem dritten Spielfilm realisiert der tunesische Filmemacher Mohamed Ben Attia eine Lobpreisung der Transgression angesichts einer konformistischen Gesellschaft.

Rafik, an ordinary man, seemed to have a settled life, he was married and the father of a boy. After an unexplained outburst of madness, he finds himself locked up in prison. Four years later, on his release from prison, he kidnaps his child, Yassine, and takes him to the mountains. He wants to open his eyes to another world. By mixing the genres of fantasy and psychological thriller, OURA EL JEBEL questions social order and rationality. In his third feature film, Tunisian filmmaker Mohamed Ben Attia praises transgression in the face of a conformist society.
