## Description

In a village in the High Atlas, Said, Brahim, and Omar make music and dream of a different life. Music is their freedom, their identity. When a new imam arrives, the atmosphere slowly begins to change. What was once a close-knit community becomes divided. What once felt natural comes under pressure. The women of the village, including Fadma, work the land with song and joy, but everything shifts when the deeply conservative imam takes hold. Step by step, he sows division by banning what he considers haram, pushing some villagers to deny their Amazigh identity, and driving others toward resistance.
