Synopsis

For the collective memory of Tunisians, 1978 is the undying memory of our famous national football team and its “epic” to Argentina’’. A myth which marked my childhood along with an intriguing question: why did my mother never watch the football with us? What if 1978 in the end was more than a football story?
