Received the Doha Film Institute Spring Grant 2017
In this road movie set to the rock tunes of Pink Floyd and the jazzy sounds of Anouar Brahem intertwined with constant train noise, 30-year-old Ahmed, a train driver, tells us of his winter trip, his desire to become someone else, his escape. As we leave the classy neighbourhoods of Tunis and head toward the Algerian border, we get to know his companions, friends lost after the revolution, and a Tunisia facing itself. In a tone that is neither too serious nor too dramatic, yet steeped in social criticism, ‘The Normal Way’ takes a look at a generation on the go.
