Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
Quiet, lanky twentysomething Ali (Adam Bessa) left his family home in Sidi Bouzid as a teenager and is squatting in an abandoned construction site. Lacking an education, he works as an unlicensed gasoline vendor, a position that leaves him prey to the graft of the local police and the whims of his not-totally-above-board supplier (Hsouna Heni). He's saving his hard-earned dinars to pay a smuggler to get him to Europe, where he hopes to find more opportunities and some dignity. Just as Ali is getting close to the amount he needs to depart, family obligations throw him off course.
His father dies of cancer and his older brother Skander (Khaled Brahem) takes off to work as a waiter in the tourist resort town of Hammamet, leaving Ali to take care of his sisters Sarra (Ikbal Harbi), who had to drop out of school to work as a housecleaner, and the youngest of the family, Alyssa (Ikbal Harbi), still a student. The trio manages for a while, with Ali taking on more dangerous illegal work, but his dream is destroyed when they learn that their father has left them responsible for an unpaid bank loan and their home will be forfeit if they cannot pay the principal, plus late fees...
