Yasmina

In the sun-drenched but socially rigid landscape of 1920s Tunisia, Yasmina, a princess of dual heritage, finds herself at the center of a collision between tradition and personal desire. Born to a French mother and a Muslim father, her identity is a bridge that her father attempts to burn by betrothing her to Afsen, a wealthy man thirty years her senior. What begins as a dutiful acceptance of her fate quickly devolves into a psychosomatic crisis; Yasmina is quite literally bored to the point of illness. The arrival of Hector Grandier, a French doctor and a ghost from her childhood, transforms her malaise into a forbidden passion. When their secret is unearthed, the resulting domestic explosion leads to a desperate act of self-mutilation by Yasmina, a false accusation of attempted murder against her husband, and a dramatic legal intervention. The film explores whether love can truly be 'free' when it is bought through the manipulation of the law and the erasure of a husband's rights.
