Abdellatif Kheireddine

Mamluk is an unassuming, handsome young peasant who happens to have come along just in time to save the king from a fatal trap, and as a reward, the king offers him the amount of land he can mark off by walking around in one day but he must return to the starting point before sunset.

After the death of Arbi Sallemi, his children are forced to confront long-buried tensions, family rivalries, and financial struggles. What begins as a father’s attempt to reunite his fractured family soon turns into a battle over inheritance, as his children navigate grief, resentment, and personal ambition. With secrets unraveling and conflicts escalating, the fight for what remains threatens to tear them apart.

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.
