Réda, summoned to accompany his father on a pilgrimage to Mecca,
complies reluctantly - as he preparing for his bachelor’s degree and, even
more important, has a secret love relationship. As both embark on a road
trip thousands of kilometres away from southern France in a broken-down
car, the once-icy father-and-son relationship starts to thaw as both gradually
come to know each other.
