Le souffle du désert
Thirteen men from Switzerland, Quebec, Belgium and France meet on the edge of the Tunisian Sahara for an extraordinary journey. For fifteen days they walk through the desert, between scorching days and freezing nights, while questioning their lives and their sense of masculine identity. The film challenges familiar assumptions about masculinity. Without artifice, the men speak about fatherhood, their relationships with women, sexuality, power, aggression and fear.
