Tetouan, a city wedged between a hill and an imposing mountain. Malik, Allal and Soufiane are three friends who live off petty crime. One day, they decide to change their lives and their destinies.

He doesn’t understand how or why his best friend, Malik, is in love with Dounia. If he wants to rob the jewelry store, it’s to have the capital to become a major drug boss.
