Premiered at Sundance in January, Where the Wind Comes From follows fearless spirit Alyssa and sensitive artist Mehdi, as they travel across Tunisia. Best friends since childhood, Alyssa and Mehdi feel cramped in their life in a remote town in Tunisia, where nothing much happens. When Alyssa finds out about an art contest in Djerba that might be their ticket out, she pulls Mehdi into a fantastical journey which will put their friendship to the test. Amel Guellaty’s first feature is a heartwarming, quirky, and entertaining road movie following youth caught between tradition and the desire for freedom. Be ready for a very special journey full of twists and turns.
