Four fools trying to get to Europe end up lost in Afghanistan! Ali, Hmida, Mbarek and Masoud are four unemployed young people who want to leave Morocco because of the incessant harassment they suffer every day from a crooked ex-cop. Their objective is simple: to take asylum and immigrate illegally to Holland. Through various circumstances, one of their friends, Hmida, ends up in Afghanistan by mistake. They decide to set off in search of him, crossing the arid lands of this war-torn country at all costs. During their adventures, they are helped by a young Afghan boy and a mysterious soldier who has deserted the American army. During their travels, misfortune leads them to become prisoners of both the Americans and the Taliban, not to mention opium traffickers.
