Sabak El Khir

“Sabak El Khir” is a Tunisian comedy film from 2023, also known as “Sabbek El Khir”. It was directed by Tunisian filmmaker Kais Chekir and released in Tunisia on January 20, 2023.

The story follows Behi Sabak El Khir and Yasser Aakil, two men who meet in prison and become friends. They encounter a magician who gives them a magical compass connected to a hidden treasure. Their attempt to find the treasure turns into a series of funny and adventurous situations.

The film is particularly notable because it was described by La Presse de Tunisie as a major Tunisian commercial success, essentially a Tunisian blockbuster aimed at a broad family audience. The producers later adapted it into a television sitcom for Ramadan.

The main cast includes Lotfi Abdelli, Fethi Akkari, Ikram Azouz, Majd Belghith, Kaouther Belhaj, Racha Ben Maaouia, Fatma Ben Saïdane, Karim Gharbi, Riadh Nahdi, and Kamel Touati.
