For several years, hundreds of young "harragas" have gone missing. Many families are certain of their survival and continue to ask for explanations of the reality of their situation after their landing in Italy. The camera takes us to Cité Ennour, one of the suburbs of Tunis, inhabited by Tunisians from a large majority of the Kasserine region. It is in this region that most of the disappeared lived and where about thirty families suffer from the disappearance of their children left without leaving new. The film plunges us into a social context that continues to push Tunisians to leave the country illegally. It is through the daily life of two characters that we immerse ourselves in the reality of the neighborhood. Hamed, TV repairer in the city, is a father of four children, including two parties in Italy. One of them is missing since March 2011. The film deals with this absence of the son, in the family of Hamed, as in other families of the district. Mohamed, long tempted by immigration, finally resigned himself to stay in the country to live from the collection of garbage that he recovers in the biggest garbage dump in Tunis. Like many other residents of the neighborhood, he only has this activity to begin his new family after a teenage split between collection in the dump, delinquency and prison.
