Where the Wind Comes From

Ateliers de l’Atlas 2021 / Festival International du Film de Marrakech World Cinema Dramatic Competition / 2025 Sundance Film Festival. A comedic ode to Tunisia’s youth, Where the Wind Comes From presents the story of 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.
