10-year-old Saïd (Mica) sells grocery bags in souks, and lives with his parents in a slum near Meknes. One day, Hajj Kaddour, a handyman in a tennis club in Casablanca, comes to take Mica as his apprentice. This job would be an opportunity to help Mica’s family, to which he would send his meagre salary. After going through humiliation and even physical abuse, Mica slowly starts to fully take in his situation, and does everything in his power to change it. Mica participated in GFF’s 3rd CineGouna SpringBoard as a film in post-production, and was the winner of GFF's prize at the 7th Final Cut in Venice workshop.
