In the 1990s, Selim, like many young Maghrebi, longs to leave behind the somber Morocco to travel to the bright Paris, his particular Mecca. On this journey, he will experience both the sweet nectar and the bitter vinegar: the nectar from the hand of Esther, from Vitoria-Gasteiz, and the vinegar from the harsh Western reality. Selim's story is told through three voices: that of the young Maghrebi himself, that of Esther, and that of a smuggler known at that time. A unique story narrated through three genres: direct narrative, diary and report. Three voices and three styles for a story as old as new.
