Alyssa lives in a remote village, where boredom has settled like a heavy weight on her restless and vibrant spirit. The monotony threatens to extinguish her energy, until an unexpected opportunity to escape arises. At 19, she decides to embark on a journey south and convinces Mehdi, her childhood friend, to join her. The two young people travel across Tunisia, carried by the wind and their own desires. It's a luminous road trip that rediscovers the Maghreb for the big screen, opening up the landscape to new perspectives and emotions. Together they form an unlikely pair: she, determined and practical; he, a dreamer and hesitant. Along the way, they face encounters, challenges, and unforeseen twists that turn the journey into a transformative experience, testing the limits of their friendship again and again.
