Basically an ensemble piece, Couscous pokes into the lives of the two extended families belonging to a separated, 60-year-old immigrant ship worker in the French port of Sète. Remarkable and thought-provoking.
Set in the French port of Sète, Couscous is a rich and quietly surprising portrait of that town's French-Tunisian community. Basically an ensemble piece, it pokes into the lives of the two extended families belonging to a separated, 60-year-old immigrant ship worker. When unemployment hits, it is the dish his estranged wife so lovingly prepares which he hopes may prove the USP of a restaurant he plans to open on a quayside barge. Remarkable and thought-provoking.
