Publisher's Synopsis
2013. Two years after the "Jasmine Revolution,"
Tunisia is unstable and unable to recover economically. High unemployment
abounds among the country's youth, who feel abandoned. Saif goes to college and
worries about his younger brother Walid, still living with their parents and
jobless. Aziz works in a call center to make himself palatable to the family of
his fiancée, Meriem, who herself is a law student. After seeing a young
man set himself on fire, Chayma is increasingly tempted to leave for France.
Together, they all passionately follow the government's developments and the
rising calls to activism in the streets.
