Making of directed by Fathi Doghri

NADER ZRILLI - Actor

This is my first big role as a professional comedian. I play the role of BOURGUIBA.
I don’t know why Fadhel JAZIRI chose me for the role. He has immediately noticed that somehow I look like BOURGUIBA when he was younger.
My parents, and those who have known me for a while and also the ones who know BOURGUIBA, have never made any comparison, while Mr Fadhel has. I am really surprised.

Today, I we have to shoot a meeting with the French Alliance in the thirties about the woman. While some people request the abolition of the veil, others would like to maintain it.
BOURGUIBA attends to say neither yes nor no. A third point of view, which belongs only to him.
I am jittered because playing the role of BOURGUIBA is a huge weight to carry.
