In an old house in a lower-class neighborhood in Casablanca, three families live in a confined space, each with one room. As Abdo and Tamou get married and are looking for work, an old woman and her children, Shayeb and Jamila, live in the second room. In the third room, lives an old man who does not leave the place, always holding his rosary and responding to the greetings of passers-by.
