In Casablanca, one conflict has been persisting for more than six years now, between Najat, Aziza, Fanida, the State and activists of Human rights. Each one of them is dedicated, in the midst of a frustrating see-saw relationship, to their idea about the future of a unique cemetery in Morocco, a place that is still virtual, place of memory, built for the victims of the Bread Revolt of June, 1981. Rachid, 30 years old, its caretaker, lives in total silence and isolation, in a cemetery that no one visits and without knowing what tomorrow will bring.
