http://www.lesfilmsdelatalante.fr/the-sea-is-behind/ A world where homosexulaity is a transgression.

Tarik s’habille en femme, se maquille, danse sur le chariot de son père, dans la pure tradition de ces hommes travestis qui égayaient les cérémonies de mariage. Mais derrière cette joie contrainte, cette allégresse de circonstance, se dissimulent un mal-être et une tristesse profonde.



“This is life, a ray of light which ends in the night” L.-F. Céline

Elsewhere
In a colourless country
Where p

eoples are upside down
Where water is affected by a strange phenomenon creating bugs. In a world faltering between fantastic and fantasy, lives Tarik, a man who, to earn his living, danses dressed as a woman, on a cart pulled by an old horse. Tarik is a victim of society, a broken man who lost his children in an accident and whose wife left for another man. Tarik drags his life and misery, cigarette between his lips, waiting for time to pass. But one day, the horse stops and Tarik must face his future.. Against his will he is involved in a terrible quest where he must face his pain and accept his grief. He will then learn to live again and let colours take him out of insanity and of himself.
