Synopsis

Set in the southern Tunisian village of El Mettouia, this autobiographical novel reconstructs a childhood shaped by local traditions and the shadow of French colonial rule. Through a series of vivid memories, the narrative follows a young boy as he witnesses the first airplane fly overhead, experiences Sufi spiritual gatherings, and watches his community resist foreign occupation. It is a quiet, reflective journey about growing up, leaving home, and the enduring power of memory.
