Ali is a young Tunisian who dreams of a better life and ekes out a lonely existence selling contraband oil on the black market. When his father dies, he is forced to care for his two younger sisters who have been left to their own devices in a house from which they will soon be evicted. As he wrestles with the sudden weight of responsibility and the injustices he faces, anger and indignation stir within Ali – that of a generation still fighting to be heard more than a decade after the revolution…

Très beau! Ce film montre les conséquences de la corruption sur la société! 
Très beau jeu sur la polysémie: Harqa signifie la brûlure, la douleur émotionnelle, le chagrin de manière figurée mais également la migration clandestine dans l’argot maghrébin

Le film est brutal et montre bien le sentiment d’impuissance et de désespoir. Chapeau pour la photographie et l'acteur

Harka does not pull any punches when it comes to the portrayal of someone succumbing to despair when faced with dire situations. Without saying a single word at times, Adam Bessa is able to convey his character’s emotions effortlessly, and Lofty Nathan’s direction gives him room to breathe and showcase his skills.

The script is thoughtful and calls for reflection on its subject matters. Its conclusion is powerful and might shock some people, but it would’ve been way more effective had it been preceded by a third act that didn’t feel rushed.
