Karim Zakaria

A determined young woman in a remote Tunisian city bucks tradition by studying for an academic degree, instead of accepting the time-honored, submissive role of her sex as a wife and housekeeper for some 'mustached man'.

The events revolve around Ali Bin Al-Bashir Al-Saghir, better known as Ali Chwereb, and shed light on that historical, political, and social stage in Tunisia.

Set in the 1940s during World War II and before Tunisia's independence, the series reflects the Tunisian resistance to French colonialism, whether by the people (through the "Fellagha" group) or the trade union, emphasizing all aspects of that period and the social, economic, and political events.
