Tunis today. Three women, three testimonies. Houda, Mabrouka and Faouzia have in common the tasfih, a magic ritual that aims to protect young girls before marriage.
LE VERROU (THE LOCK) speaks of the female body, its representations in the public and private space, the place of women in intimacy, the family, Tunisian society, torn between traditions and a deep need for emancipation.

A film by CHAIBI and Hélène POTÉ

Tunisia / France, 2016, documentary, 1h12mn
