After twenty years, Ahmed and his wife Souad and their friend Rachid are supposed to spend a few peaceful days by the sea, under the sun. It is not so. The specter of the past awaits them. The demon of the years of lead appears in the form of a transvestite, Abdeslam who, under the name of Naïma, dances in the fair set up in the village.
Ahmed, Rachid and Abdeslam (Naïma) were active in a clandestine organization in the 1980s. Rachid was sentenced to ten years in prison. Abdeslam (Naïma) of five years. There was with them, in the same group, a young aspiring poet who died tragically. His name is Lahcen. With the appearance of Abdeslam (Naïma), unexpected questions arise: how is it that Souad, who was Rachid’s friend, married Ahmed? Other more worrying questions: why Rachid and Abdeslam (Naïma) went to prison, while Ahmed did not spend a single day? He became a successful doctor while his two comrades languished in prison. And did Lahcen drown as claimed, or did a car run him over and its occupants threw his body into the harbor basin?
Ahmed, in addition to his greed, appears in another light, egocentric and tyrannical. Souad can no longer bear a situation she has endured for so many years in silence.
The wounds are there, more painful than before. The desperate love of Rachid, the disarray of Abdeslam (Naïma), the despair of Souad and the selfishness of her husband. The sun of this end of summer only illuminates with its lights areas that have remained dark, fanning with its fire memories that set all the characters ablaze under its influence.
