In the ten years that follow, Alex tries to build a relationship with his newfound family in Tunisia. He convinces his Swiss half sister Jasmin to do the same. In this fascinating family saga, Alex is facing not only the intercultural misunderstandings and failed expectations between him and his father, but also the relationship with his Dutch mother.
