29th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (07.11-23.11.2025)
Ex-boxer Kamel’s world shatters when his beloved son is diagnosed with a life-threatening tumour.
Kamel, a former boxing champion, swapped fame for a peaceful life with his beloved wife, Samia, and their son, Sabri. But when a simple accident reveals Sabri has a bone tumour, their world is shaken. As their son bravely fights for his life, Kamel and Samia are pushed to their emotional limits. Sabri’s courage inspires, Samia’s hope endures, and Kamel, driven by love and pain, must face his deepest fears. After a painful separation, the family reunites for one final round: a fight not in the ring, but for love, strength, and survival.
This is not your typical boxing film, like our beloved masterpieces “Rocky” and “Raging Bull”, but much more. Tender, powerful, and deeply human, this Tunisian cinematic gem, directed by Mohamed Ali Nahdi and written by Sophia Haoues, delves into the heart of family, resilience, and modern-day struggles. It’s a truly moving experience that will touch your soul and stay with you long after the credits roll. It is brought to life by a stellar cast, including Helmi Dridi (Kamel) and Afef Ben Mahmoud (Samia), and a remarkable crew. The work of the director of photography, in particular, will be remembered in cinema history.
