Saly, a 28-year-old woman, encouraged her husband Moussa to get into a makeshift canoe. One day, she learns that the boat has capsized and that Moussa has disappeared. Traumatized and weakened, Saly feels guilty and sinks into a depression from which nothing seems to be able to pull her out. It is Tamkharit and everyone is busy preparing for the festival, but Saly is locked in her pain. Will she be able to overcome her suffering and regain her desire to live?
