The life of Nour, an undocumented immigrant in Marseille, will radically change his worldview through two impactful encounters. Franco-Moroccan filmmaker Saïd Hamich Benlarbi continues the political essay he began with his first film (Retour à Bollène), allowing for a historical reflection on the generation stemming from the Maghreb immigration of the 1990s—the golden age of raï music and cultural intertwining—in a post-"Marche des beurs" France (the 1983 demonstration for rights). Ayoub Gretaa carries the film, supported by Grégoire Colin and Anna Mouglalis. The imagery and philosophy evoke La Vie devant soi and Le Gone du Chaâba.
