Kacem, an ageing fairground operator, his son and a transvestite dancer travel around the countryside of drought-stricken southern Morocco in an old van in this bittersweet homage to the last itinerant fairground showmen (forains) in Morocco. Rabii is a young transvestite dancer hired by Kacem, a long-time fairground entertainer and the owner of a lottery stand on wheels. Their three lives are bound by a common itinerary: that of Rabii with his dreams of a kinder place, that of Kacem who is sick and haunted by a dark past and that or Larbi, Kacem's only son, an ex-boxer, ex-prisoner - a violent mythomaniac who will end up alone. This film is a tribute to the last fairground entertainers, musicians, dancers, storytellers, animal trainers, jugglers, performers and troubadours - to all the popular artists of the streets and public squares.
