Synopsis
Ali, Kwita, Omar and Boubker are 12-year-old street kids in Casablanca. The streets are their home and the people that live in them, their family. With nowhere to go, and nowhere to hide, survival is an everyday problem and friendship is their irreplaceable bond. Then one day, Ali is killed, his life cut short by an act of vengeance from a rival gang. His friends could abandon him dead but they decide to give him the burial he deserves- like a prince.
