A murder? Hit-and-run drivers. An accident. Samy gets mixed up in a sinister tale with Franck and Pablo. He was the one driving the car and he is the one who probably killed a policeman. Franck and Pablo destroy the car, leaving Samy to his remorse. He gets back home and confesses the murder to his parents. His mother, who is Algerian, decides to protect Samy from the police by sending him to Algeria in her family. Welcomed by Issam and Nadia, his first cousins, Samy discovers his mother's country and above all meets his old and sick grandfather. Along the wadi, Samy, prisoner of his heavy secret, searches for his identity and gets lost.
