Woken up and annoyed by the noise of workers in his Paris apartment block, Marco meets a young apprentice electrician, Haythem, working on the cabling under the floors. After knocking off, he meets up with Marco and they become friends. When Haythem learns that Marco is about to go to Tunisia for a holiday, he entrusts him with the delivery of a letter and some money for his father who lives there. But before that, Haythem takes Marco to the Hammam to introduce him to its most subtle oriental traditions.
Arriving in Tunisia, Marco is given a warm reception by the hotel’s room service who make sure he’s well taken care of! His next mission is to find Haythem’s father’s house – after indulging in a little contact sport with some of Haythem’s cousins along the way.
The visit to a souk harks back to 1984’s Harem and, despite the more modern language, shows that mouth-watering traditions live on!
Welcome to the country of sun and mint tea – where Mother Nature shows her power and sensuality without reserve.
