Mikael is doctor on night call. It’s a vocation. Between two patient-visits in slum areas, he cares for those whom no one else wants to see: the drug addicts, the homeless… He rubs shoulders with destitution. His life is in shambles. Especially when it comes to his pharmacist cousin who makes him write false prescriptions for Subutex. Overnight, he decides to get out of drug trafficking and rebuild his life. But there will be a heavy price to pay.

A young queer writer, on the verge of having her first novel released by a mainstream French publisher, confronts the literary scene in Paris and fears her work will be misread and expected to “represent” Tunisian society for readers from outside the Arab world in this intimate time capsule directed by her close friends.
