Growing tired of resorting to petty theft, Malik falls in love with a prostitute, Dounia. When she is arrested, Malik makes a deal with a shady policeman to let her out. He and Dounia enjoy life together, until Allal asks Malik and Soufiane to join him in one last, big heist. But can they still trust each other? kej
