Mamun, a 15-year-old boy who is different from the others, has his phone stolen. That night, his enraged father insists they won’t return home until they get it back.
Mamun, 15, is not like other teenagers. When his phone—an Oppo—is stolen, his father, Mourad, refuses to let it go. That night, he drags Mamun through the streets of their Casablanca neighborhood, determined to track down the thief. Othman, a reluctant witness, names a boy their age—Roubio—as the culprit.

But the search for the Oppo quickly turns into something else. For Mourad, it is not just about retrieving a stolen object—it is about proving that his son is normal, that he can fight back, and that he won’t be humiliated. And Mamun, caught between fear and a desperate need for his father’s approval, struggles to become the son Mourad wants him to be.
