Synopsis:
Docu-fiction on children fighting for their survival in the streets of Casablanca: Aki, Omar, Kouka and Boukber have been living in the streets of Casablanca for years. The 12 year old "chemkras", as they are called, have to struggle day after day for survival in a hostile universe where they are confronted with violence, misery, prostitution and indifference. Their only support is their friendship, but their life is not different from from the one of many children of Casablanca. One day, a chief of a rival gang kills Ali. His friends, confronted by his death, don't know what to do: abandon the corpse or call the police in whom they have absolutely no faith?
