    • The film follows Aida a struggling actress from a provincial background, who finds herself on the street with her 70 year old bourgeois neighbor. With no money and nowhere to go, the two women, aided by Yassin, a street-savvy young man, embark on a journey to find shelter. An extraordinary friendship grows among the unlikely trio.
