A young officer at military school in 1971, Marzouki found himself unwittingly involved in an attempted coup against the King of Morocco. For this, he would spend eighteen years in Tazmamart, a secret prison in the middle of the desert—and there he encountered Faraj, a small wounded bird who brought a glimmer of hope back into the dark corridors of his captivity.
