Film Description

Class, cultural and sexual differences are explored in The String, a romantic gay drama set in scorching Tunisia. Tall, quiet Malik (Antonin Stahly), a 30-year-old Parisian architect, returns to his homeland after the death of his father. He's greeted warmly by his overbearing, petulant mother (Italian icon Claudia Cardinale) and is immediately confronted with her expectation that he stay and get married.

This now strange world of his youth, his mother's pressure and his barely hidden homosexuality set off anxiety attacks in Malik, who finally finds relief when he meets the handsome handyman, Balil (Salim Kechiouche) They begin a tentative relationship, but Islamic mores, a class conscience society, and the omnipresence of his mother threaten their burgeoning love. A forbidden love story as well as a character study of people lost in rapidly changing cultures, The String is an engaging, insightful and undeniably sexy drama.
