Four kids head to the peaceful countryside with their grandfather for a few days. When he must leave and puts the farm’s guard in charge, a mix-up convinces the children to flee, believing the guard plans to slaughter them.

An 18 year old on the island Djerba, Aicha, is married to Said, who works in Tunis for much of the year. Aicha breaks with tradition and decides to join Said in Tunis, weaving rugs to make money. Said asks that she give him a son, so Aicha lives under the rule of her mother-in-law.

Following the arrival of the New Year, Slimane's wife, Zeineb, suggests spending New Year's Eve in a hotel. Meanwhile, his mother Douja, desperate to have her date canceled, makes a plan with Slimane's mother, Fadhila, to leave with them. The couple then meets for this evening with their mothers, as well as Sboui, his wife Azza and his children. Sboui, Slimane's brother, continues to do stupid things at the hotel which makes the stay unpleasant for the couple. Remaining in Tunis, Fouchika finds himself alone with Béji. He had planned this evening with his friend Sboui but finds himself with his former boss because he is having marital problems. However, Béji receives a phone call from his wife and reconciles with her. Shortly after, Béji leaves to join his wife at her in-laws, leaving Fouchika alone.

Sboui lives next to his brother and mother. Many funny adventures ensue in the old building of a fortune teller as he falls in love with her daughter. Sboui works as a secretary at his brother's office, a psychotherapist.

The tone is light‑dramatic, very Tunisian in its social humor, and it revolves around everyday problems, family tensions, and the kind of chaotic situations that escalate until characters say “هذي آخرتها؟” (“Is this how it ends?”).

The story follows two families living in parallel worlds that meet only in misfortune. One reigns atop the financial pyramid, hiding corruption and money laundering behind luxurious walls, while the other struggles daily at the bottom, fighting for mere survival.
