Aya, is a twelve-year-old girl. She’s digging an arid patch of land. A police car is coming close. One of the policemen hands her a letter that informs her that her older brother, who was doing his duty in the police, has died in an accident. Mouloud, their father, is a simple farmer from the Aurès area. He jumps on to his tricycle and, defying all the bans, dashes to collect his son’s body. Fatima, the mother, is in a deep sadness. Will this father, very affected and helped by his daughter Aya, make his wife and children smile again?
