Hsan has been trying unsuccessfully for many months to find work. On his wife’s insistence, he seeks help from local politician Ammar, who tells him that he will get him a job under one condition: Hsan must paint his house purple, the colour of the ruling class party, adding a much needed splash of colour amid the uncertain times of the Tunisian Revolution!
