Synopsis:
Khalid, a young unemployed man living with his mother, leads an empty life marked by his dependence on cannabis. One night, he finds himself desperately searching for a lighter to light his cigarette, wandering late through the streets. At the same time, Youssef leaves his house to buy some bread. He first finds a grocery store still open, but there is no more bread. Then, he can't find any other shop still open. Meanwhile, Nabil, another young man, is driving through these same streets, lost in memories of a past love. Overwhelmed by nostalgia, he lets himself be carried away by his past.
