Plot

Amidst the bustling port of Casablanca, four street children—Ali, Kwita, Omar, and Boubker—struggle to survive, using glue as a means to escape their harsh reality. Having fled from the clutches of the menacing Dib and his gang, they live in constant dread of retaliation. Ali dreams of a brighter future as a sailor, inspired by tales his mother, a former prostitute, shared about a magical island illuminated by two suns. However, their quest for freedom quickly turns perilous as they confront the looming threat of Dib’s gang, pushing them toward a desperate fight for survival.
