A camera slowly roams through an abandoned amusement park in the heart of Casablanca. The film paints a portrait of the young people who inhabit this space, revealing fragments of their lives, meticulously reframed and often inspired by images found on social networks. Politically charged moments, dangers suspended in time, instants just before action: the audience witnesses something on the verge of happening and is invited to embrace an experience of duration.
