A special Q&A immediately followed with Director Férid Boughedir, moderated by Assistant Curator Andrew Ingall, The Jewish Museum. Based on Serge Moati's novel VILLA JASMIN, is a compelling and passionate love story.

The film explores his parent's history from the 1920s and the impact of the Vichy Government under German Occupation in the 1940s. Moati finds solace as he discovers his parents' love for each other sustained them through good and bad times. Their love was compared to the sweet aroma of Jasmin, the national flower of Tunisia. His mother's charm necklace gift given by his father with the hidden inscription from Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy, "the love which moves the sun and stars" described their relationship.
