With the camera of his aunt (Djamila Sahraoui), with whom he corresponds in voice-over, Mourad tenderly films the inhabitants of his city, in Tazmalt in Kabylie. Among them, Samir, an associative activist very product of all. Like so many others, the inhabitants of Tazmalt must overcome the inertia of institutions and rely only on themselves. Beautifying the city and giving work to young people, such is the citizen project of the Samir association. Thanks to the participation of all, the construction site begins. The young people, having no certainty of being paid, set to work timidly, then with enthusiasm in view of the results. But the infernal cycle resumes. No job, no money. Expect ? No. It is in the street that their "ras-le-bol" will explode in the spring of 2001.
