Mohamed was only twelve when he had to drop out of school. He did not mind at first: no school meant free time and new opportunities. He is excited to find a job, make some money and become the man of the house. When the time comes, he will work in the city. But for now, he is stuck in Oulghazi and must figure his way out. Fatima, his younger sister, is in her last year of primary school. Like her brother, she expects to be out of school next year but hopes she can convince her mother otherwise. Fatima does not want to spend her life doing house chores until the time comes for her to marry. She wants to be a teacher so she can wear blue jeans and a white shirt to work. She wants to go to secondary school with her girlfriends. The film follows the siblings as they leave their childhood behind and navigate a journey of crushed expectations: will they rise above their circumstances or accept their destiny and follow in their parents' footsteps? Through their rite of passage, ‘Out of School’ paints a delicate picture of adolescents caught between two worlds: the one they imagined they could reach, and the one they must learn to live in.
