Two girls, neighbours and friends since childhood, experience their first love. Myriam is engaged to Simon, a doctor who is much older than she is. Nour is in love with Khaled, her cousin, and would like to marry him. One is Jewish and the other is Muslim. It is 1942, during the German occupation of Tunisia and the Axis powers are trying to win over the Tunisian Muslim population in return for a promise of independence. Meanwhile, the persecution of Jews is beginning, following the policy of the Vichy government. The two girls keep together while everything is tending to push them apart.

After studying acting, dance, Hebrew, French literature and Arabic, Karin Albou enrolled in a film school in Paris. After her first short film, Chut…, and a documentary (Mon pays m'a quitté ), she directed a medium-length feature film, Aid El Kébir (Grand Prize at the Clermont-Ferrand Festival in 1998, selected at Cinemed) and two feature films, La Petite Jérusalem (2005, Grand Prize at the Critic's Week in Cannes) and Le Chant des mariées (2008), both screened at Cinemed. Her first novel, La Grande fête, is adapted from the story of her film Aid El Kébir. Ma plus courte histoire d'amour is her third feature film.
