YOUSSEF & NEJMA
Long-metrages by Olivier COUSSEMACQ
Youssef and Nejma, both teenagers, run away from an orphanage in search of freedom in spite of the inherent risks. An inspired and placid poet, he wants to believe in the possibility of living other existences while she, socially rebellious, wants her happiness here and now. Irreconcilable antagonisms? However, a few fateful signs along their journey evoke a destiny of never-ending love.
