Ahmed, 18, French of Algerian origin, grew up in the suburbs of Paris. At the university, he meets Farah, a young Tunisian girl, full of energy, who has just arrived in Paris to study literature, like Ahmed. While discovering a corpus of sensual and erotic Arabic literature he never imagined existed, Ahmed falls deeply in love with Farah, and although literally overwhelmed with desire, he tries to resist it.
A Tale of Love and Desire tells the story of a young man who struggles to keep his bearings between his own feelings and desires, his learned concepts of masculinity and his ideas about what makes a woman.
