During a trip to the south of Tunisia, their car is targeted by a terrorist group and the young boy is seriously injured… This accident will turn his life and that of his partner upside down. Born in Tunis in 1984, Mehdi Barsaoui graduated from the Higher Institute of Multimedia Arts in Tunis and the DAMS in Bologna (Italy).
