In a Middle Atlas village in Morocco, two young lovers don’t allow themselves to share anything else then piercing eyes, carrying their values and their dreams. The arrival of the cousin coming from France, with his girlfriend, creates a stir between the family members. If the relationship of the guests is accepted, why should it be different for the two other lovers? Cultural shocks and generational gaps are impacting the chemistry of their relationship.
