To escape the cycle of poverty that hangs over their destinies like a sentence, Malik, Allal and Sufian decide to rob the biggest jewellery shop in Tetouan. But there are other reasons: Malik wants to rescue Dunia, the prostitute he is in love with. Allal needs the money to get into the drug business and Sufian has his own motives... When the plan goes wrong, their destinies separate and they will have to choose between love, friendship, honour and betrayal.
