A tender yet fraught romance between two men constrained by family expectation, grief, and the closet, set against the backdrop of a bourgeois Tunisian household.

Malik has a lot on his plate when he returns home to Tunisia after living in France. He's processing his father's death, he can't come out to his mother, and his childhood anxieties have resurfaced. But all of Malik's problems seem to fade away when he falls for Bilal, the dreamy houseboy at his mother's bourgeois estate.
