Synopsis
Ali Imam Khatib is leading a somewhat unusual project, which is the reopening or renovation of a cinema in his district of Ksour El Sef which has been closed for more than 25 years. If he is passionate about this project, it is because he believes in the role that a film committed to the youth of his region can play. His project will only overlap with another’s: Documentary filmmaker Amine, who has decided to stage Ali’s entire endeavor, but with a different conception of cinema. A concept that completely contradicts Ali’s.
