The film examines the life of a rural Amazigh community in the south-west region of the High Atlas Mountains. The thousand-year history of the Amazigh has been, for the most part, transmitted in oral form among Tamazight speaking pastoral communities. The film continues this tradition in an audiovisual form, to portray a community that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. The film follows the lives’ of two sisters, one who must give up school to prepare for her wedding, and the other who dreams of being a lawyer.
