The Season of Men (Arabic: موسم الرجال‎, translit. Maussim al-rijal,
French: La saison des hommes)

Directed by Moufida Tlatli
Produced by Mohamed Tlatli, Margaret Ménégoz, Dora Bouchoucha Fourati
Written by Moufida Tlatli, Nouri Bouzid
Cinematography: Youssef Ben Youssef

PLOT:
An 18-year-old on the island Djerba, Aïcha, is married to Said, who works in Tunis for much of the year. Before she can join him in Tunis, Said asks that she give him a son.[3] On the island Djerba, Aïcha lives under the rule of her mother-in-law, with a few other wives, while their husbands work elsewhere. Aïcha eventually gives birth to a son and is allowed to move to Tunis with her husband. However, her son Aziz has developmental problems and is likely autistic, which causes Saïd to reject him. Aïcha returns to Djerba, this time with her son Aziz and her two adult daughters. The film uses extended flashbacks between Aïcha and her young daughters living in Djerba prior to the birth of Aziz and then scenes in the present, where Aziz is about eight, just before she moves back to Djerba. The film ends with Aïcha and Aziz working together on the loom, making tapestries that Aïcha sells. The film ends with Aïcha's younger daughter Emna leaving, which Aïcha and Aziz live together in Djerba.
