At the doors of the desert, in the south of Morocco lies a small town Ouarzazate, where the cinema - "the Western eye" - and the native culture share an over century-long mutual history. Borders between fiction and reality fade away. People of the desert are now the people of the cinema. For the extras, taking part in the next film productions is now a centre of their existence. Deconstructing the pictures allow to place in the foreground the people of the background, their points of view, desires and emotions.
