Synopsis

Tunisia, Summer 2011. Fares, Meriem, and their 10-year-old son Aziz are a modern and happy Tunisian family coming from a privileged background and cut off from the reality of a Tunisia still flickering, eight months after the fall of the Ben Ali regime. Enjoying a few days in the south of the country, they are victims of a dramatic incident that will change the course of their lives. It doesn’t take long for some long-buried truths to resurface, shaking the balance and harmony of this family that will never be the same again…
