Summary:
Strong-minded but naive Driss makes his living in Tangier doing odd jobs while dating a young European antiques dealer. His attention is increasingly drawn to Fouad, a reclusive cafe owner who excoriates his fellow Moroccans as lazy and lacking ambition. Driss pursues a friendship with Fouad despite his friends' efforts to dissuade him and becomes a victim of the man's underhanded, treacherous nature.
