The film follows Ahmed (Sami Outalbali), an 18-year-old French Algerian who meets Farah, a young Tunisian woman. In their lessons about Arab literature, Ahmed discovers more than just a collection of sensual and erotic Arab literature as he tries to resist the desire he feels for Farah.

A Tale of Love and Desire will be presented with Descriptive Subtitles (SDH). If you have any questions about the access provisions for this event, you can contact our Access & Inclusion Manager at charlotte@birds-eye-view.co.uk.
