Tunisie : que cachent ses souks et ses oasis ? | Documentaire Voyage – AMP

Captivating and dynamic,
Tunisia invites us to discover its most beautiful treasures,
whether hidden in the twists and turns of the souks or hidden from view. Behind these sun-drenched white facades
, men and women perpetuate
ancestral know-how passed down from generation to generation. Throughout its history,
the country has attracted the covetousness of conquerors who knew how to
profit from this fertile land. Tunisian artists have drawn on
these successive cultural contributions to leave us an
exceptional architectural heritage. We begin our journey in the south
of the country and the famous island of Djerba. A former corsair’s lair,
the island was occupied by Berber, Carthaginian,
Roman, Vandal and Byzantine peoples. Surrounded by beautiful beaches and lagoons
that have encouraged its tourist development, it has managed to preserve many
sites from any hotel construction. The fortified architecture of Djerba
bears witness to the long presence on the island of the Ibadites who defended their
autonomy with imposing buttresses, including around the mosques. On the west coast, the Sidi Yatti mosque
provides a remarkable example. The prayer hall is located behind
thick ramparts, facing the sea. On days off, families come to
enjoy the tranquility of the place to picnic in the surrounding area. Near Umsuk,
the island’s administrative centre, the Fadelun Mosque also displays
the sobriety characteristic of Ibadi buildings. Dating from the 14th century,
it included an underground bakery and a grain mill. The village of Riades is
a bit like the heart of the island. Its market stretches
for more than a kilometer. The freshness and variety of the products
on offer attract residents from all over the region. Women often go there
in traditional dress. Fruits and vegetables overflow from the stalls. The autumn harvests give
pride of place to pomegranates, dates and squash of all kinds. Not forgetting the famous filfil,
these peppers that we find in everyday cooking. The old part of the village
presents an unexpected side of the island. In 2014, around a hundred artists from more
than 30 different nationalities were given carte blanche to
express themselves on the walls. This event, called Djerbahood,
gave birth to 250 works. Eriade has thus become a space
of expression for artists from diverse cultures. A panorama of world street art
and a cultural attraction. The entrance doors are full of charm and overflowing with secrets. They are sometimes embellished with large
nails, some of which are believed to bring luck and ward off the evil eye. These different decorations
highlight the wealth of the owner and the
solemnity of the residence. A little further south, Guet-Lala has long
been a village entirely dedicated to pottery. In their underground workshops,
artisans only had to bend down to find the
ideal clay for their pottery. Mounir is one of the last to perpetuate
the traditional manufacture of jars, pots and other
domestic containers. My brother and I are the last people to practice this profession. Many have stopped. Some went to live abroad,
others could not make ends meet. It wasn’t selling anymore. We produce mainly for the
Tunisian market, for our region. We still use
a lot of our products. There are also some hotels
that use it as decoration. Thanks to his family’s renowned expertise
, Mounir still manages to get by. But even if his oven is well stocked,
he is not sure that the young people are ready to take over. To the north, Umtsuk is the
tourist center of the island. Its fort, the Bordj Elkebir, has been
located here in the city since the end of the 14th century. It was built on the ruins
of the ancient Roman city of Girba. Abandoned to corsairs and pirates during
the 16th century, the fort was occupied in 1881 by French troops. Returned to Tunisia in 1903,
it is today one of the most visited historical monuments on the island. Les Houches are traditional houses on the island. They were both
farms and dwellings. Not all of them have been lucky enough, as here
in Midoun, to have found enthusiasts to restore them. Leïla Meliki is preparing
one of the island’s specialties. The fish were caught
earlier in the morning. What I am going to prepare is a specialty
of Djerba, couscous with fish. To cook it, I have fish,
potatoes, parsley and onion that we are going to steam. This couscous is homemade, which
means we prepare it ourselves. You don’t buy it ready-made. We prepare it regularly to feed
a reserve from which I have just taken what is needed for today. Now I’m going to
steam the fish. The rooms of the house are
connected by different patios. Inside, the decoration is
sober in the traditional spirit. Leïla has set up an occasional guest room there,
sought after for its peace and comfort. On the terrace,
cereals or olives produced on the
neighboring farm, the menzel, were once stored. After about forty minutes
of cooking, the couscous is ready to serve. Accompanied by homemade harissa
, it can be spiced up with sometimes very strong chilies. We will now head
towards the Algerian border, towards more desert areas of the country. Neftha was built around the
Rass El Ayun oasis, known as the Basket of Neftah. Some 150 springs
once watered the palm grove. The water is still there,
but in much smaller quantities. This is also the issue at stake for all
the palm groves in the region. Here, as elsewhere in the south of the country,
the houses of the Medina were built with very thin small bricks. Neftah was originally
a Numidian city, then a Roman one. After the Muslim conquest,
it became a center of Sufism. The exquisitely decorated gates
of the old town are made from palm wood. Between Thauzeur and Neftah, there are
countless immense palm groves where the famous Nourres dates are harvested
, fleshy and sweet as you wish. As soon as there was a water source
nearby, we sometimes planted more than was necessary. November is the month of harvests. The date clusters were protected
from dust and insects by a kind of cover. And to avoid damaging them,
we pick them as a team. Once cut, the bunch is carefully passed from hand to hand until it reaches the ground. The lack of rainwater
has become a real problem. We are lacking. It’s drought. It has a major impact on
palm trees and dates. Especially this type of dates,
they are very sensitive. The slightest thing impacts it. And these dates need water. If they are lacking, the quality,
the quantity, the fruit, everything is altered. The palm trees have not received
rain for two years. The springs are at
worrying levels, but for the moment, the harvests are still abundant. In the city, all families
live to the rhythm of the harvests. Here, women do the sorting. The best dates
will be exported. As for the most damaged or driest ones,
they will feed the animals. Neftha is also renowned for its
annual Sufi and Mystical Music Festival. In a magnificent ancient palace,
the Dar El Wadi, Moroccan artist Djawad Shahri
and his musicians perform religious songs that the audience knows by heart. Born around the 7th century
as an extension of Islam, Sufism spreads a
spiritual and intimate dimension of the Muslim religion. In search of truth and purity,
these followers seek to draw closer to God by detaching themselves from material goods. On a large stage in the city stadium, it was a Syrian brotherhood,
the Abouchard brothers, who amazed the audience. Their dance, the Hadra,
allows access to a higher state and a path towards God. Before heading back north,
we stop in Gabès, a town renowned in particular for its henna fields. This plant with medicinal
and cosmetic properties has been cultivated for centuries in the region. Here, the palm grove is
also suffering from a lack of water. The desert is near and it is becoming
increasingly difficult to resist these attacks. The caves of Gabès are considered
the best in southern Tunisia. They can be yellow
or bright red. The important thing
is to keep an eye on the fruit at harvest time, as it tends
to burst due to the large temperature difference
between day and night. In this orchard, despite the lack of water,
we harvest around three tons per year. About twenty minutes from the city,
in Limoie, here is a farm that has developed around a
substantial water source. The only viable long-term solution,
with a significant irrigation system. Oranges,
mandarins, lots of lemons and olives are grown on 55 hectares. Water reserves have decreased
due to the lack of rain. Today. Water reserves have dropped by about
10 meters compared to the usual level. This is why we find
land that is dry and abandoned by its owner. But on this farm, we’re doing
pretty well for the moment. Hopefully this will continue so that
we can maintain all these trees. Sfax is the second largest city in the country. It is an economic center
of prime importance. The Medina was founded in 849
AD, under the orders of the Glabid Emirate of Kairouan. Despite its many alterations over
the centuries, its medieval urban plan is one of the best preserved
in North Africa. Lofty Tricky owns a tiny
shoe repair shop, but he’s one of the best shoemakers in the country. That’s leather. People come from far and wide to experience the pleasure
of tailor-made products and expert craftsmanship. Shops are often passed down
from generation to generation. Lofty inherited this from his father, who
put him to work from the age of eight. This is the buttress. Here in Asfax,
we now have more than 5,000 coordinates. So, it takes a They don’t
work like that. They work on the assembly line,
they work in series. I make a pair a day. We put the nails in. The leather is of magnificent quality. The price is ridiculously low considering
the work and quality provided. But retirement is approaching
and Lofty currently has no successor. The Medina covers 24 hectares. It brings together around thirty
different souks, all located north of the Great Mosque. At the end of the 19th century,
under the French protectorate, a modern district was
created on the eastern side of the Ramparts. He helped make the city
a major commercial hub. On the outskirts of Sfax, the renovation,
even the preservation of the borges, is a movement that is gaining momentum. Originally a simple rural house
for storing crops, the borges became,
from the 18th century onwards, seasonal residences where
life was good, unlike the old dwellings of the Medina. Haïd Asaf and the Borges en Péril association are
now seeking to save this heritage. These houses are located in the
Dje’in area, a region rich in fruit trees and vegetable growing. The Borges Kamun dates from 1890. Its construction has been progressive. It was threatened with extinction after
its ceilings collapsed, and it is only after a long and serious
renovation that it has reappeared today with all its assets. Sfax is also a large fishing port. Walking through the fish market in the early
morning speaks volumes about the variety and quality of the sea resources. These enormous groupers have little to envy their Pacific cousins. The region is also
renowned for its olive trees. Mohamed Khoty is the third generation
to produce a quality hectare, regularly winning awards
in international competitions. Here we are talking about olive trees
that were planted in 1890. My great-grandfather was a
farmer, my grandfather, my father. And then, the passion and love
for this tree is still there. This November, the harvest
is about to begin. Today, Mohamed is carrying out
a test on several trees. The harvest is done entirely by hand. The olives will be quickly
transported to a nearby mill to be pressed immediately. The local variety here,
in the region of Incha’o, Jbeignana, is the chimleli variety. So chimleli, that is, khad, khad. There, as you can see,
there, we see the two colors. So, green, black, purple. It is a tree, in fact,
which tolerates drought well. It is indeed a challenge
to grow these trees in such desert conditions. We opted for this spacing
between the olive trees and for the roots to spread as much as possible to have
the water and nutrients needed for the
tree’s development. It is a balanced oil,
slightly bitter, slightly spicy. It is a balanced oil and
it is stable over time. So I am happy and proud
to produce such a product. We usually eat it with bread or with dates for breakfast. It’s still virgin oil. During the break, we prepare tea with
a mixture of very infused plants. Mohamed’s entire family came out
for this first day of harvesting. In the coming days,
dozens of pickers will take possession of the estate. A few kilometers further north,
the impressive silhouette of the Delgem amphitheater emerges. It is one of the best-
preserved coliseums in the world, along with that of Rome. Built between 230 and 250
AD, all the popular spectacles of the Roman Empire, such as
gladiatorial combats, took place there. It is estimated that it could hold
nearly 30,000 people. Today,
listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it hosts an
International Symphonic Music Festival every summer. In the shadow of the Colosseum,
the El Jam art studio perpetuates the ancient art of micromosaics. Meticulous and highly
precise work that produces astonishing paintings. The principle is to assemble tiny
elements of spun glass or very finely cut enamel fragments, so as
to make the joints imperceptible. El Gem was a Roman city where there
were many artisans who made mosaics. There are many houses here as well
as in the museum, with large mosaic paintings that illustrate the daily lives
of these inhabitants and their families. We have perpetuated this art from generation
to generation and we have made it evolve, obviously,
to the point of working with micromosaics, which is an artistic genre. The mosaic that allows us to reproduce
masterpieces, from the greatest painters and artists. This gives them an original value
and distinguishes them from what can be found elsewhere in Tunisia. These artisans can work for more
than three months on a small painting about twenty centimeters in diameter. We continue our journey north
to reach the seaside town of Madia. Built on a peninsula,
the coast was first occupied by a Phoenician trading post, then a Roman one. The foundation of the city dates back
to the very beginning of the 10th century and was ordered by the
first Fatimid caliph. Despite the tourist pressure,
the city has managed to retain its charm. In particular, it has managed to preserve
its marine cemetery against real estate developers who have
coveted it on several occasions. At the foot of the ruins of ancient Sourre,
the site was chosen in the 17th century to house tombs,
all facing the open sea and the Mec. It houses three tombs of marabouts
considered to be saints, who still attract many
pilgrims every Friday. Below, the small fishing port is
surrounded by the ruins of an ancient Punic necropolis and an Ottoman fort. In town, the large port
is rather quiet this morning. The storm that blew for most
of the night dissuaded most of the fishermen from going out to sea. This is a good time to repair
the nets while waiting for a more lasting lull. Madia is also renowned
for its silk work. Many artisans continue this
delicate work dedicated to traditional ceremonial outfits. Hours of work are required
to harmoniously interweave silk thread, silver thread
and sometimes even gold thread. Silk working is
a very ancient tradition. It dates back several centuries. These were the unfortunate people
who wore these outfits, those who had money. This is why Mehdiah
is known for his silk work. They wear a lot of silk and silver. These two materials complement each other well. The work is repetitive,
but requires precision. Sometimes a pattern is red
on one side and green on the other. When embroidery is added,
the production time for a piece can exceed one month. These are generally long fabrics that are
draped around oneself and can be decorated with a large belt. Mohamed shows us some pieces ready for delivery. The most expensive traditional dress
in Tunisia is that of Mahdiah. Here, people like to dress up
for special occasions and don’t cut corners. Despite the fact that it has
increased again, they continue to buy it. He doesn’t look at the expense. When the woman ties it around her
waist, the tassels hang like this. It gives something extraordinary. It gives a nice look. When you go to a party
or other occasion and you see these different pieces,
you notice that the people who wear them
really look great. Continuing our journey north, we arrive at Kairouan, considered
the fourth holiest city in Islam. The Medina is carefully
guarded by thick walls. From the beginning of the 8th century,
Kairouan became one of the major centers of Islamic culture. Its Medina prospered rapidly and in the 10th
century, the city already had 100,000 inhabitants. The city is famous for its carpets. Housed in the former
governor’s house or bay house, the Alani family offers magnificent
rugs made on site. It was Faisal’s father,
the current owner, who purchased this
18th-century residence and restored it to its former glory. The residence stands in stark contrast
to the austere style of the Aglabids, who initiated the city’s expansion. The terraces of this complex have
also been carefully renovated and offer another
perspective on the Medina. Each room has sumptuous,
finely carved teak and cedar ceilings adorned with marble. This is the real Kairouan carpet,
what we call the loucha. It’s handmade. Each pattern represents something. Everything on a white background
represents the prayer hall of the Great Mosque of Kairouan. There are the stairs of the minaret. This is the mehrab
which indicates the direction of Mecca. The cross of Kairouan,
the abbot’s nest, the jasmine flowers. And there are the mosaics, we find it
in the mausoleum of the barber of Kairouan. The
Great Mosque of Kairouan is considered one of the holiest
places in the Maghreb. Also called Ogba Ibn Nafi,
after its founder in 670, it is one of the most beautiful and
harmonious architectural achievements of Islam. The mosque was enlarged and modified
by the various dynasties that succeeded one another in Tunisia. But whether it is the portals,
the galleries or the prayer hall with its 17 naves, its heart has remained as it was
originally designed. It is considered by the faithful to
be one of the three gates of paradise, along with Mecca and the
Al-Aqsa Mosque in Palestine. Makroud is more than just a pastry. It is the flag bearer of Kairouan
throughout the country. And Halima is one of his
most loyal servants. Here, everything is homemade with
quality ingredients. For the traditional makroud of Kairouan,
we need the wheat semolina which is there, the flour which is here. You need salt and saffron, which then gives
the preparation a yellow color. We need
animal fat which is here. Olive oil. Then we wet everything with
water that we have here. And we make sausages that we
will stuff with this date paste which will have been flavored
with this preparation. It is the saffron that gives the preparation
its characteristic yellow tint. My
mother and grandmother already prepared makroud at home. It’s
for all occasions. Any occasion is good,
such as the celebration of Hajj, Ramadan or weddings. It is for all these occasions that
we prepare makroud here. It is one of our traditions. It is time to add the date paste
to the preparation, fruits that are obtained
from the palmerets of tozer or nefta. The wooden mold and its patterns
are the house’s signature. Halima cuts generous portions
before dipping them in oil. We forget about dietary issues. The only thing that matters here is respect
for tradition. After frying them,
I will put them in cabbage, a mixture of sugar, water and lemon. As for the crust,
here is the traditional one, the one our ancestors made. They were this size,
with these patterns. Customers are asking for more. These recipes are a hit. We now reach
the country’s capital, Tunis. The city’s main artery,
Habib Bourguiba Avenue stretches towards the lake. It is part of the new town
created by the French at the end of the 19th century. Stretching from Tunis Marine station
to Independence Square, the avenue benefits from a
pedestrian zone in its center. With its approximately 650,000 inhabitants,
according to the latest census, Tunis remains the most populated city in the country. The
central market, located in the old colonial city,
is a bit like the belly of Tunis. Notes of orange blossom invade
the stalls, mixing with those of many spices. Olives naturally occupy
a special place there. This market gardener has highlighted one of the
country’s most popular fruits, the lemon, which is constantly found
in various cooking recipes. In the morning, the fish market
is the busiest. It is full of countless varieties
that the vendors regularly sprinkle. The Southern Mediterranean knows how to be
generous, even if the resource is dwindling in a worrying way. Founded in 698,
the Medina is one of the first Arab-Muslim cities in the Maghreb. It represents the historical
and symbolic heart of the capital. This veritable labyrinth,
listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a center of life where few
foreigners reside. Just under 15,000
people live in the neighborhood. The Zituna Mosque,
or Olive Tree Mosque, is undoubtedly the most emblematic of Tunis. It was built on the ruins of a
Christian basilica around the 8th century. Its current minaret was
only added in the 19th century. Despite the transformations it has
undergone throughout its history, it has managed to maintain a beautiful harmony. The view from the rooftops of the Medina
gives a more precise idea of ​​its density. Some terraces have preserved
traces of the refinement of these old residences or palaces,
most of which have been transformed into shops. Away from the shops,
the residential part, surrounded by jasmine groves,
still has an obvious charm. The Medina once had
many sumptuous buildings. This one, the Beram Palace, was occupied
by the mufti of the Sultan of Istanbul. Since 2007, the new owners
have made it a point of honor to restore it identically using
original materials. To recoup this investment,
part of the house was converted into an altar. On the finely crafted ceilings,
an inscription indicates the date 1789. On the walls, the
Turkish Izznik earthenware tiles date from the 16th century. All these clues tend to prove that the
palace was built in the 18th century. Nearby, another residence houses
the Association for the Preservation of the Medina of Tunis, the Dar Ben Gassem. In fact, the Medina was founded in the 18th or 7th century. So there was a lot
of social dynamic and it continues. So there are families
who left when the murder took place. There are
internal migrants who have come to Tunis to look for work and
who settle in the Medina. Dar Ben Gassem is a guesthouse
that has retained Andalusian and Italian styles. Leïla and the association ensure
the preservation of the quality and know-how of the artisans of the Medina. There are quite a few artisans in the Medina who
are trying to keep their know-how and their workshops, but they are third or
fourth generation. So their job is very important to them, to their family history. But it is a real challenge to continue
producing, to find the market today. Gorgard Zouayeb runs a small
perfume shop. He creates his own fragrances. Every day is an economic challenge
that he manages to meet thanks to the quality of his products. Sometimes I present the products that I
make, the products that work well. Otherwise, the best seller
is white muscle. I have jasmine and orange blossom. I also believe the rose. It smells very good.
Look at. . No. There is the same product,
but this way it is more practical. Jasmine is more popular because it
diffuses at home, to make scents at home, in a diffuser. It is the most popular because it is
a number one flower of Tunisia, like the jasmine revolution. Carthage is not just
the chic suburb of Tunis. It is first a famous ancient city
built by the Fenicians, ravaged, then completely rebuilt by the Romans. What we must remember
is that there is a Roman occupation through the discovery, at a very early period, in any case, of Roman history,
which is the temple of Gince Augusta, which is on my right here. The land of the cathedral was offered
to France by the Bay Usaine II, in memory of Saint-Louis, who died on this
site during the 8th Crusade. Nearby, archaeologists have unearthed the
remains of the largest district of the ancient city. It is above all the discovery of the punished part which was under the embankments and discovered during the
archaeological excavations in the countryside carried out by UNESCO, which began in 1979. Below, next to the old
Punic port, the fishermen repeat ancestral gestures. Cleaning the nets
prepares for tomorrow’s fishing. The
remains of Carthaginian civilization reveal its extreme sophistication. The ruins of the Antonine Baths
allow us to imagine the past splendor of these installations. The upper part,
of which only a few columns remain, housed baths of
impressive size. They were the largest in terms
of the Roman Empire after those of Rome. The Zagouan aqueduct supplied
the entire bathing complex. Inscriptions found confirm
that Emperor Hadrian was behind this gigantic construction. It is
not only a facility with bathing facilities,
but also a place of imperial powers and cults,
since about twenty portraits of emperors were discovered in the basement of this complex
. This means that there was a symbolism, a
political one as well. The Roman houses scattered around
the hill bear witness to the refinement in which the Romans could live. Marble, mosaics, sophisticated roofing and,
to top it all off, an ideal location facing the sea. On the other side of the hill,
on the heights of Gamart, there are architect-designed houses,
ruins and old residences currently being restored. Set back, we find a somewhat
iconoclastic place, the workshop of Mehdi Benedetto. This artist uses mosaics
and micromosaics to create highly original works or to fulfill
orders from the luxury industry. Micromosaic is
much smaller. It starts at 3 millimeters. The normal mosaic
is 5, 6 millimeters. After that, it’s a centimeter. Afterwards, it’s a lot… When it’s the microphone, it
really becomes a millimeter sometimes. On one square centimeter,
you can place 100 stones. In fact, the microphone, as
it is so small, it looks like a drawing. So, automatically,
it’s more pleasant. It feels like we’re close to perfection. When you get really close,
you can see that it’s a mosaic. But the microphone, when you go beyond it,
you step back four or five meters and you look at the work, it
looks like it’s a photo, especially when it’s in gray, black, white. There are eight months of work at, say,
three and a half hours a day, four hours.
Otherwise, it’s signed by head words. The microphone is very complicated. Sidi Boussaïd, Carthage’s neighbor, has
always occupied a strategic position. Its colors, blue and white,
contributed to its legend. Before becoming a
sought-after seaside resort, the village attracted many artists. Away from the center and facing the sea,
the residence of Baron d’Erlanger is a haven of peace. Built between 1912 and 1922 as
a private residence, this palace is named after Enejma Esara, or Star of Venus. Its interior decoration combines
Arab-Andalusian, Spanish and Italian art. The palace now houses the Center
for Arab and Mediterranean Music. Baron d’Erlanger,
its first owner, was both a painter and a musicologist. He was particularly interested
in Arabic musical treatises from the Middle Ages, which he undertook to
translate into French. The palace also houses the workshop of one of the
country’s last master wrestlers. Eddy Bellasphare performs
oriental struggles, these famous houds, unconditional support of Arabic music. Eddy Bellasphare’s father made
furniture until he also began making
musical instruments. It was he who taught Eddy the art
of decorating handles with bone or ivory. Without forgetting the secrets of the convexity,
this essential resonance box for this type of instrument. At the moment, his
order book is full. He is taking advantage of the renewed interest in
traditional music among young people. I started making
musical instruments at the age of 14 with my father. We have also taught and trained
artisans in this know-how for over 20 years. I have also been with
the Ministry of Culture at the Palais du Baron in Herlanger for 32 years. We also train students in the making of Tunisian instruments such as the Tunisian lutte, the rebab,
the nagrad and the Tunisian tard. Stop.
Stop. Stop.
Stop. Ahmed Saïdani is a concert pianist
and music teacher. All All these instruments were designed
by Uncle Eidi, as he affectionately calls him. I have been
working with Uncle Eidi for over 30 years. I trust him. He is a competent person,
recognized for the manufacture of this musical instrument. I know very well that when he chooses
wood, it will always be first choice. Below the village, there
is an exceptional house which also belonged to the baron,
Dar Aslam. Its restoration took several years. It is a house that is now
at least 250 years old. But fortunately it has always been
inhabited, formerly by the baron, then his son. His son, after that,
there was another family of artists who occupied the place, who
completely restored it, enhanced it. It really is a house with
a lot of history. It’s not just architecture,
but a lot of experience. Artists came, poets,
painters, writers, men of art. Many people have been there. I spent my whole childhood there,
it’s a house that is very special because its
architecture is already quite hybrid. Between Arabic, Hafzid and Ottoman, between Bolge, the house of Veliégiature and the very classic Medinal house. Its opening onto the garden is
magnificent with the bias handkerchiefs, with the arches, etc. And its very particular color,
it is the only house, the only house in Sidi Boussaïd,
which still retains its original color with an ochre coating and green windows. The heights of Sidi Boussaïd offer
a privileged corner of tranquility and an unforgettable panorama of the city. In the distance, the Mediterranean
invites us to continue the journey.
