I always liked smugglers because they are playing with borders. But, I soon realized that the one who was sitting in this dark room in the middle of the night after a long day of work, couldn't do anything with the moods that he inspires me. Me, his uncle, a "migrated" came to film this land that he and his mount detest above all. This film depicts the aspirations and anxieties of a young Algerian smuggler transporting fuel by mule , from his village to the Moroccan border. Through his portrait, emerges the filmmaker's ambiguous relation with this piece of territory.
