content
The literature professor Nadia from Tunis is a married mother. She experiences the difficult time of menopause and is plagued not only by physical but also by psychological symptoms. She feels weak, ugly, old, and abandoned by her husband. In addition to her depressive moods, she suffers from poor memory and weight gain. Her daughter is the beautiful 18 year old Sarra who doesn't know that her mother is jealous of her. Hedi (Nadia's husband) and Sarra wonder about Nadia's oversensitivity and her problems. The two do not know how to behave towards Nadia.
Movie reviews
Lexicon of international films : a psychologically intelligent portrait of a woman who struggles with her fate and causes a number of problems for herself and her environment. What is remarkable for an Arab country is the open approach to the topic, with which the Tunisian director ("Palace of Silence") once again underlines her concerns and deals with female sexuality.
ARTE : With "Rivalinnen", the Tunisian filmmaker Moufida Tlatli created a touching portrait of a woman who comes to an age when she is plagued by psychological problems and unsettled by her changed behavior in her family environment.
