Synopsis:
In the Gardens of Carthage – a district of Tunis, two cops Fatma and Batal find a burnt body in a plot of land, where construction had been stopped by the former Regime at the beginning of the Revolution. As construction slowly resumes, they start looking into this mysterious case. When the event repeats itself, the investigation takes a puzzling turn.
