Abdelaziz Ouenza

Baghdad, 2005. After Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena is kidnapped by insurgents, veteran SISMI negotiator Nicola Calipari is tasked with rescuing her, but interference from US forces in Iraq compromises his mission.

After his release from prison, Allal demands his share of a theft he committed in his youth with Mehdi Hamzaoui, who lives a double life through two different personalities: Mehdi, as well as Basttouf, who practices begging. A strong conflict erupts between the two of them that will turn their lives upside down.
