تونس العاصمة صيف عام 2003، يتجوّل رجل مجهول على دراجته في شوارعها، يُنادونه "الشلاّط"ويحمل شفرة يضرب فيها أرداف أجمل النساء اللاتي يمشين على أرصفة المدينة. بين حي وآخر، تتردد في شأنه أكثر الحكايات جنوناً. لقد أمسى "الشلاّط"شخصية غامضة، تحيط بها هالة من الرعب والاشاعات. الكلّ يتحدّثُ عنه لكن ما من أحدٍ قد رآه. بعد قيام الثورة التونسية تقوم مخرجة عنيدة بالسعي لكشف ملابسات شخصية "الشلاّط"وما أحيط بها من غموض

Estate 2003, un motociclista, armato di rasoio, si aggira per le strade di Tunisi sfregiando le natiche delle donne che passeggiano. Dieci anni più tardi, dopo la rivoluzione, quando la verità sembra a portata di mano, una regista testarda si mette sulle sue tracce e vuole a tutti i costi svelarne il mistero.
