Overview
Tunis, winter 2010, a few weeks before the fall of Ben Ali. Loyal friends Fathi, Moha, and Walid stick together to try to survive in a society ruled by corruption, fear, and injustice. Moha, the eldest and a talented musician, destroys himself with alcohol out of rage at not being able to make it big, secretly dreaming of a clandestine passage to Lampedusa. Walid, a smooth talker and handsome guy, is skilled at taking advantage of a system that disgusts him. Fathi, the youngest and most idealistic, naively hopes to get a teaching job through competitive examination and has just fallen in love with the pretty Noura, a liberated young woman who flirts with cyber-dissidence. Then, in a deprived provincial town, the suicide by fire of a young vegetable seller sets Tunisia ablaze. Each of them will see their lives turned upside down in the turmoil of this end of an era...

In 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Satrapi watches events through her young eyes and her idealistic family of a long dream being fulfilled of the hated Shah's defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 1979. However as Marji grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on its own.

Just by watching Lupe stuck at home in her robe and slippers, no one would will guess that in the 80's she was a rock star. Gone are the times of concerts, fame and success. Agoraphobia does not let her leave home. She depends entirely on Paquita, his mother, a superstitious Mexican, with a huge heart, which not only takes care of his daughter but also her teenage grandson. The problem is that Paquita is running out of time and she doesn't want to leave without getting her daughter back.

Or shoulders a lot: she's 17 or 18, a student, works evenings at a restaurant, recycles cans and bottles for cash, and tries to keep her mother Ruthie from returning to streetwalking in Tel Aviv. Ruthie calls Or "my treasure," but Ruthie is a burden. She's just out of hospital, weak, and Or has found her a job as a house cleaner. The call of the quick money on the street is tough for Ruthie to ignore. Or's emotions roil further when the mother of the youth she's in love with comes to the flat to warn her off. With love fading and Ruthie perhaps beyond help, Or's choices narrow.

Louise, who has just written a novel, comes to Paris to meet with a potential publisher. While in the city, she stays with her older sister, Martine, who in many ways is the exact opposite of Louise: she lives in a fashionable neighborhood, is cold to others, and has snobby friends, while Louise lives in a small town and is thoroughly unpretentious. Louise's apparent happiness -- and similarities to their mother -- gradually gets on Martine's nerves.
