Description
MISSING
The Silences of the Palace is directed with loving attention to the details of womenÃs lives and to the political realities which they survive with courage, comradeship, and the resources of their bodies. Tunisia in the 1950Ãs (during the twilight of the monarchy) is the sumptuous setting for this drama of memory and motherhood, of political and sexual power.
