In Kénitra in ruins, there is the grave of a man who was a Palestinian fighter.
His son, the filmmaker, tries to put together the story of this mari through mixing the scattered echoes of his mother’s memory and wanting to pay homage to his dead father. This is a way for him to exorcise the shame and humiliation that stick to his father’s image as it does to his town occupied by the Israelis in 1967.
