Kemal studies in the Sadiki boarding school. Since the death of his father who was murdered by a secret colonial organization, Kemal has doubts about the political situation of Tunisia.

A documentary filmmaker goes to work on a project about Tunisians who have worked abroad. Many have married French women, and the couples try to adjust to France after many years in Tunisia. The man decides to forego the film in order to address the personal and social concerns of the people trying to cope in their new surroundings. This feature appeared at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival.

Directed by Abdellatif Ben Ammar.

The events take place before and a day after “New Year’s Eve” in a hotel in the north-west of Tunisia, which the director recalls from his memory from an incident he lived when he was young.
