During the Tunisian revolution, Mohamed, a political prisoner, escapes from jail and returns to his native town Thala. He has only one goal: to find his fiancée Hourya. Mohamed witnesses yet another slaughter. As he carries a dead body to the hospital, a young protestor films him and the video is uploaded on Facebook. Meanwhile, we discover Hourya who lives with her husband, Adel, a quiet man who has accepted her past but forbids her of taking part in any political activity.
