Tunisian, travels to France for the first time to help his older brother, who is wrongly accused of murder and incarcerated in
Paris. He first stops in
Marseille, where he meets Tunisians very different from those familiar to him; enigmatic
French people; and a strange atmosphere that makes him doubt his brother's innocence, his own innocence and his own mental integrity. == Awards ==
