Simon (Herbie Buffales Habib Boufares), a worker who has toiled for most of his life on the dock of Port set, was fired. He felt angry and helpless, and his struggle with his boss was futile. As his career was not going well, his relationship with his family became strained, and his ex-wife, lover and children were all disappointed with him. When Simon is desperate, the lover's daughter Lim (Alfcia Elch Hafsia Herzi) comes forward. With her encouragement and help, Simon planned to open a restaurant on the abandoned ship, but investors' doubts about his assets nearly scuppered the deal. But Simon has regained his courage and confidence in life. He led his family out of the haze gradually, and while the family was preparing dishes for the restaurant, they encountered unprecedented trouble. This film won the special prize of the jury of the 64th Venice Film Festival.
