Synopsis: Eid al-Adha is fast approaching in Casablanca. Imad, a street vendor selling pirated DVDs, still doesn’t have enough money to buy the animal for the sacrifice. This gives him an excuse to take advantage of his studious younger brother, forcing him to work as a valet on the sidewalk across the street. Believing he is bullying Fayçal, Imad doesn’t realize he is giving him the chance for revenge.
