On January 14, 2011, Haikel Hazgui (or 'Nash' as his friends call him) is forbidden by his uncle to leave the house, as he is worried that his nephew will demonstrate in the city centre.

Nash, pretending to go along with this, escapes through the window to join his girlfriend and the thousands of other demonstrators who came to protest against the ruling government.

There, near the Ministry of the Interior, he is met by familiar faces such as Lina Ben Mhenni. The first part of the demonstration proceeds calmly, as the young student discusses and chants with his fellow demonstrators: "Go away!", "Down with the RCD (Ben Ali's former political party), the tormenter of the nation". Nash is then suddenly struck by the image of a man releasing a bird from its cage. 

As tear gas is launched and the crowd disperses, Nash finds himself fleeing the police violence all alone.

He recounts the smaller, and largely "forgotten battles", like the one that took place on Jean Jaurès Avenue, a few dozen metres from Habib Bourguiba Avenue. There, he witnesses unimaginable events: a demonstrator repurposing an empty police van as a roadblock to protect the demonstrators from the police. J

ean Jaurès Avenue turned into a "free zone". On the way back to Mégrine, Nash hears Al-Jazeera reporting about the president's escape. It is complete euphoria. 

He also recounts the following days spent in his home town of Jebeniana, where he experienced participatory democracy and self-governance for the first time, and which came to fill the political void after the fall of the ruling power.
