15m
In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, 16-year-old Ilyas, a determined young boy from a rural Amazigh village, embarks on a perilous journey to find medicine for his ailing mother. With nothing but his donkey as his companion, his path crosses that of Abla, a privileged young woman from the elite, French-speaking class of Marrakech whose car breaks down in the desolate desert. Stranded in the middle of nowhere, they are forced to rely on each other, bridging not just a language barrier but deep-rooted class divides.
