A group of teenagers spend their summer working in the fig harvest in rural northwest Tunisia. Melek and her friends work in the orchards during the summer to pay for their studies, prepare for their weddings or help their families. Between the fig trees, under the gaze of older workers and young men, they reveal and project themselves, on the threshold of an adult life. The fig orchard becomes a real theater of emotions, where their relationships with work, love, friendship and the land are played out.

In late 2013, Zina and Djo, both in their twenties, come back to Tunisia from the Syrian front where they were sequestrated and raped. Zina was separated from her two-month-old child and Djo finds out she's pregnant and plunges into mutism and expresses her Syrian horror only in the novel she is writing. Tunisian lawyer, Nadia and Dora, a humanitarian doctor, assist them in their hard and lengthy reconstruction; impeded by the violence of their close circles, the harsh view on the social networks and their angst. Nadia, also Driss' lawyer, a 21-year-old persecuted homosexual who's been banned from all school establishments, asks him to help Zina in the hopes that their stirring meeting will allow them to open their black boxes, to assume themselves and stand up to the unjust society.
