The Salt of the South
The film explores a family's deep connection to the sea across two continents and generations. It highlights the resilience of Fathia, a marine farmer in southern Tunisia, as her son Fadhel, a former fisherman, seeks climate refugee status in Europe amidst the ecological collapse threatening their way of life. The sea, both a giver and a destroyer, pushes them to reshape their lives in a quiet struggle to preserve their heritage, where the choices before them blur between survival and loss.
