Follows an investigation when the burnt body of a caretaker is found in the middle of a construction site in the Gardens of Carthage.
In the Gardens of Carthage, a district of Tunis initiated by the former Regime which construction stopped at the beginning of the Revolution, two cops, Fatma and Batal, find a burnt body in one of the lots. As construction slowly resumes, they start looking into this mysterious case. When the event repeats itself, the investigation takes a puzzling turn.
Rialto Recommends: Askhal. A festival darling from Cannes Directors’ Fortnight to TIFF, this slow-burn noir proves urban planning was never meant to be this haunting.
