Synopsis[edit]

Fifteen years after being kidnapped by his French mother, Mehdi, now in his twenties, returns to Morocco to see his father Aziz. The young man, half French and half Moroccan, wants to get to know his native country. He meets a young Moroccan woman and spends less time at home with his father. Aziz disapproves of the relationship and argues more and more frequently with his son. One day, after a particularly heated argument, Mehdi leaves and does not come home at night. Aziz's worst nightmare begins.[7][8]
