In 1954, two young intellectuals, the ethnologist François and Ibrahim the lawyer, return to Tunisia after their studies in Paris. Brahim is engaged in the national independence movement. He is charged by the party to find his brother Beda, the resistants' leader, and to convince him to lay down his arms, a prerequisite for peaceful negotiations.

It all started when the Islamist extremist "Chokri" attacked the rehearsal space of his sister "Hasna", actress and singer by trade. Threatened with death by her brother, condemned in absentia and whom she believed to be abroad, "Hasna" has only one solution before her: to flee the country clandestinely at any cost at the risk of her life with other women and men she will meet in this dangerous adventure ... Lack of visa.
