Initiatory journey of a young man, with an unconfessable love for fresh meat and freedom. Coming from a long line of coranic lawyers, Thami braves his father's wrath to embrace the only occupation he cares for: butchery. Handling the meats, he discovers another passion, women, and the taste of love.
