Bou Khaled, his master, takes him under his wing nonetheless and teaches him the secrets of the business. Khorma learns to announce weddings, births and deaths in his neighborhood in Bizerte. But, one day, old Bou Khaled makes a grievous mistake: he announces a local woman's death rather than her daughter's marriage. Khorma is chosen to replace him...
