The role of Dr Oussema, a Tunisian archaeologist working at the Baghdad Museum during the time of former President Saddam Hussein. At the time of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, he watches helplessly as the museum's treasures are systematically and organisedly looted under the benevolent and complicit gaze of American troops. Nevertheless, he tried to save the unique manuscript ‘Third Infinity', a document dating from the time of Haroun Errachid and attesting that the Arabs of the Golden Age discovered the theory of evolution ten centuries before Darwin. Thus began a merciless race and struggle to get hold of this treasure. A mysterious American scientist (Jean-Marc Barr), a formidable police inspector (Abdelmonem Chwayete), a crooked doctor (Lotfi Dziri) and others take part in this race.
