Ahmed, 18, is French of Algerian origin. He grew up in the Parisian suburbs. On the benches of the university, he meets Farah, a young Tunisian full of energy recently arrived from Tunis. While discovering a body of sensual and erotic Arabic literature that he never knew existed, Ahmed falls deeply in love with this girl, and although literally overwhelmed by desire, he will try to resist it.
This romance swaps typical suburban angst for a lush, sensory discovery of Arabic erotic poetry. The connection between Ahmed and Farah blooms through the shared heat of written words rather than simple dialogue.
