Making of, le dernier film

　　The making of a martyr, the making of a man, and the making of a film. Bahta is 25, Tunisian, a hothead who excels at break-dancing. When he thinks a woman he likes may be seeing another man, his injured pride mixes with his Arab anger at Western insults to Islam, so he gets in trouble with the cops. For sanctuary, two men take him to the home of an older man, a teacher who is a tombstone calligrapher. The teacher slowly brings Bahta to understand the promise of martyrdom, playing on his desire for manhood. Occasionally, the actor playing Bahta breaks out of his role to complain to the director, who must coax him back. Is Bahta on his way to manhood, suicide, martyrdom, and murder? 　　Film Festivals: 　　WINNER Cannes Film Festival, Un Certain Regard Award 　　WINNER Carthage Film Festival, Tanit d’Or 　　WINNER Fribourg International Film Festival, Ecumenical Jury Award 　　WINNER Tribeca Film Festival, Best Screenplay 　　Winner Venice Film Festival, OCIC Award Honorable Mention 　　Official Selection Vancouver International Film Festival 　　WINNER Tribeca Film Festival Best Actor, Best Screenplay 　　WINNER Carthage Film Festival, Best Film, Best Supporting Actress 　　WINNER Ouagadougou Panafrican Film and Television Festival, Best Actor
