Rachid, a retired colonel and former freedom fighter, mysteriously disappears carrying a rifle from his past, while Djamel, a young man from a working-class neighborhood, sets off on an unexpected night adventure. On a remote rural road, their paths cross in a strange encounter that unfolds into a series of absurd and comedic situations, where memory collides with reality in a journey full of surprises.
