Drama

Fifteen years after being abducted by his European mother and taken to Europe, Mehdi, now in his twenties, decides to return to Morocco without informing her. The decision to go back is driven not only by the desire to visit his Moroccan father at home and discover the country where he spent the first five years of his life, but also to fill the voids in his own identity: two parents, two countries, two very different cultures.
