1981, Morocco. A village in the Atlas mountains. A city in the distance. A child. A family facing its destiny.

In one of the Moroccan villages, the competition is for those who are elected to run the village affairs, and then agree on the establishment of a football team as a criterion for competition.

After long and mature reflections, Hassan and Ilham resolved to acquire their own accommodation, to finally free themselves from the weight of family cohabitation. Not having enough financial resources, the couple decides to take out a loan from Hamza their brother-in-law. A solution that will cost them dearly, because after taking the plunge, the two lovebirds realise as a couple that by signing this deal, they have somehow signed a pact with the devil... The nest that was supposed to bring them peace and quiet. Stability becomes the source of their troubles. Overnight, their dream turns into a nightmare...

Longtime friends, Mehdi and Hamid, work for a collection agency. They crisscross the villages of southern Morocco in their old car and share double rooms in shabby hotels. They are exactly the same size, and wear the same suits and ties, as well as the same shoes. Paid nearly nothing, they try to play hard to make good figures. One day, in a gas station planted in the middle of the desert, a motorcycle parks in front of them. A man is handcuffed to the luggage rack, threatening. It’s the Evader. Their meeting marks the beginning of an unforeseen and mystical journey.
