After a few years spent in France and in the West Indies, Jamil comes home as a broken man. He arrives in a bookshop in the center of colonial Tunis for a temporary job as a clerk. He is attracted to Aicha, 15 years older woman and the mother of the book shop owner Tarak.

The sole pleasure of Ala, a literature professor and poetry lover, is to share drunkenness with poets. «The Epistle of Mercy», a work about Heaven and Hell, written nearly a thousand years ago, is the subject of the day. In his inebriation, the waitress and bar owner become characters from this work.

Brahim Nadhour, un Tunisien installé en France depuis son divorce, rentre à Tunis pour enterrer son fils Marouane, mort dans un accident de moto. Il découvre que Marouane militait au sein d’une organisation salafiste et décide de mener son enquête pour identifier les personnes qui l’ont endoctriné. Peu à peu, il en vient à douter des circonstances de sa mort.

An odd couple of contrasting cops: one is a disillusioned veteran, the other young, idealistic and speaks fluent Arabic. Ideal for tailing Khalid (Ahmed Hafiene), who was acquitted but is still suspected of having ties with Al-Qaida. The two cops, who initially can't stand each other, find themselves increasingly in contact with the life and habits of Khalid. As the story goes the suspect catches on to them, but when he begins receiving threats the cops become his bodyguards, his escort. Being nearer to him, and knowing him better, the two cops end up making almost friends with the man. At last it comes out that Khalid is the victim of a legal error. He makes accusations against the Italian's justice, but this leads to his expulsion from Italy. The young policeman undertakes a voyage in search of Khalid, that will lead him to Tunisia, and to some final twists.
