Mahrez, a 37-year-old man from a poor neighbourhood in Tunis, dreams of being a professional actor. Over the course of 12 years, and against the odds—months in prison, wasted opportunities in Europe, a taboo love—Mahrez chases after his passion.
Mehrez is a bold personality in a small Tunisian town. At 25 years old, Mehrez decides to enlighten his community of unemployed, frustrated youth through the world of theatre. He puts his heart into his teaching, and his troupe begins to blossom. But suddenly, Mehrez is thrown in jail, and his plans begin to go awry.
