Tarik El Hob (2001)


Karim, qui se dit hetero et etudiant en sociologie, cherche, parmi les jeunes d'origine maghrebine, des gays prets a temoigner devant sa petite camera. Il rencontre Farid, steward decomplexe, qui est pret a repondre a ses questions et plus si affinites. Au fur et a mesure de l'enquete, le comportement de Karim se revele paradoxal: il vit avec sa copine, tout en s'initiant aupres de son nouvel ami.

Karim, a sociology student who claims to be heterosexual, seeks amongst young Magrebinis, those who can speak openly about their homosexuality before his video camera. He meets Farid, a young and confident flight steward who is willing to answer all and volunteers to assist him in his project. During their research, Karim's behaviour becomes paradoxical: he lives with his girlfriend whilst practically falling for Farid.

TARIK EL HOB (THE ROAD TO LOVE, internationally) is a sensitive and tender docudrama about homosexuality in the Islam world. The film is exotically raw and realistically written that watching the two leads fall for each other seems to affect the viewers. Simply a must see!
