In Tunis, Tunisia, during the Nazi occupation of World War II, the lives of two young women – Jewish Myriam (Lizzie Brocheré) and Muslim Nour (Olympe Borval) – are forever changed by the spread of anti-Semitism. Myriam’s family, saddled by financial burden, is pressuring Myriam to marry a wealthy doctor. Meanwhile, Nour’s fiancé, Khaled (Najib Oudghiri), whose wedding is contingent on finding a job, entertains thoughts of becoming a functionary in the Nazi propaganda machine.
