Arab Blues

• Comedy
• Drama

Returning to her Tunisian homeland after years in France, Selma establishes a psychoanalysis practice, but finds herself less a detached observer of her patients’ lives and more unexpectedly entangled within their vibrant, often chaotic realities. This isn’t a traditional therapy drama; instead, *Arab Blues* unfolds as a wryly humorous and surprisingly intimate portrait of a country in transition, navigating newfound freedoms and lingering cultural tensions. The film's gently observational style captures the bittersweet humor of societal shifts, offering a uniquely Tunisian perspective on universal anxieties surrounding identity, desire, and belonging—all while subverting expectations of a conventional comedic narrative with moments of quiet, contemplative realism. Selma’s own evolving understanding of home and her place within it mirrors the emotional journeys of those seeking her help, creating a warmly inviting, yet refreshingly honest, exploration of modern life.
