Like a desert, it's very beautiful but not a lot happening on the surface.

The most interesting aspect of this film about a young man who returns to his family to look after his sisters and try to make money in a country where there's no money to be made is the view it offers of Tunisia.

This is not the Tunisia of travel brochures or vacation pamphlets, this is the real down and dirty deal of what life is like in one of the poorest countries in North Africa and why so many people want to leave ('harka' is an Arabic slang term referring to clandestine migration across the Mediterranean).

Apart from that, the viewer can understand and sympathize with the young man's predicament, but the lack of narrative arc prevents us from walking into that desert ourselves.
