After forty years at the factory, it is Djamal, alias Dino’s, last day. His colleagues have organised a meal to celebrate. The atmosphere is warm-hearted. Dino has the place of honour, and he feels good. That afternoon at work, his boss, anxious about his departure, suggests he come back on a temporary contract. Reassured that he will soon be able to work again, Dino takes note. At 7:30 pm, his wife phones to tell him off: they are waiting for him. Back home, Dino is distant and grumpy. He goes out of his way to spoil the celebration his family has planned. When his wife and two daughters learn that he wants to go back to work, they leave the table in despair. Left on his own, Dino reads the card his colleagues wrote him. He is overcome with emotion. Feeling fragile and in need of support, he suggests to his family that they go out for ice cream. Going out reunites the family. Dino shares a desire with his wife: what if they all went to Algeria together? It would do him good.
