Mohamed Khattab runs the grocery in Mafrouza. A sheik, he also preaches the Friday sermon in the local mosque. But in these feast days preceeding the great Eidday, fundamentalists come in the neighbourhood and take over the mosque. The people of Mafrouza describe this takeover calmly and clear-sightedly, which means without demonization and with the strength of words that use the arguments of both heart and reason. Mohamed Khattab's closest friend comments: "The Brothers seek to attract people; if you love someone, you don't try to attract him, you talk to him directly ". Though hurt, Mohamed Khattab keeps his dignity, his irony and the secret regarding his intentions. But he hasn't said his last word. What happens next gives him the opportunity to express his strategies, his rage and his resistance, but also his tenderness towards this camera now due to leave since the shooting is completed, after two years spent filming in the area.
