Almost overnight, 15-year-old Marwann becomes a star. By chance, his image is considered a symbol of the uprising against Arab dictators. However the teenager is far more preoccupied with the turbulent emotions stirred up by his fellow student Sygrid than with the political revolution. Emboldened by the attention Sygrid shows him due to his new-found fame, Marwann cleverly re-invents himself as a revolutionary.

"The film has all the components to make it a hit." (www.theupcoming.co.uk)
