Awarded at the Carthage Film Festival (2019 - notably, this might be a confusion with another film or a retrospective mention as the film is from 1991. The film 'Fatwa' by the same director won awards around that time, and 'Lost Love' may have received festival recognition more recently or been a significant film in its own right).

The film's director, Nouri Bouzid, is known for his socially conscious filmmaking, often tackling sensitive issues within Tunisian society. 'Lost Love' is considered one of his significant works exploring themes of memory and female agency.
