Tahar, 55 years old, is the archetype of the exemplary civil servant. He is leading a quiet life until the day when his head of departement informs him of his anticipated retirement. For Tahar, this is a situation for which he was not prepared. He has to face new problems. We will see a step by step degradation, both at the material and psycholosical, level, of a human being whose life, or what remains of it, is completely put in question.
