Atop a hill in Carthage, one of the finest areas of Tunis, stands a villa that belonged to the Trabelsi, the family of former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali’s wife. Ben Ali’s nepotism had been a trigger for the uprising – and during the revolution, the villa was ransacked and covered in political graffiti. As four young Tunisian women explore this symbol of their country’s Zero Hour, they are not identifiable as belonging to a particular ethnic or religious group, but rather as members of a universal Mediterranean civilization.
