In occupied Paris, a young Algerian immigrant named Younes is struggling to survive on the black market. After being arrested by the police, he agrees to spy on the Paris Mosque, where he meets a Jewish singer named Salim. Touched by their friendship and the mosque's efforts to protect Jews and resistance fighters, Younes abandons his collaboration with the police and joins the fight for freedom, transforming from an apolitical immigrant into a fully fledged resistance fighter. Based on little-known historical facts, this powerful drama sheds light on the Muslim community's courageous role in supporting the resistance and rescuing Jews during WWII.
