Yanis, a young Kabyle, leaves tomorrow for Paris. He heads for the small local town to settle his final affairs. There, he learns of the death of a childhood friend, and meets another at the funeral. A mishap at the café turns his last day in the boondocks into a road movie, first desperate, then pensive and melancholy, in an earthy, sodden Algeria.
