Raja Amari's first feature length film SATIN ROUGE is a meditation on the transformative powers of self-expression. Lilia (Hiam Abbass) is a widowed Tunisian housewife, tired of living in the shadow of others. She follows her daughter Salma (Hend El Fahem), and discovers she is having a secret liaison with a cabaret musician who works in the forbidden belly dance cabaret down the street. After watching the hypnotic shifting of hips and the euphoria of the crowds, Lilia is herself overcome with the urge to dance. From then on, nothing is the same, and nothing is out of the question, not even sharing her daughter's boyfriend.
