This film chronicles the daily violence experienced by Saharawis living under Moroccan occupation and expresses the aspirations of a desert people for whom the era of colonialism never ended”.

FICNOVA recognises in the film the effort to continue denouncing the hypocritical interests defended by Europe and the USA in the Sahara conflict, preventing the self-determination of a people.
