Alassane is a young man from Burkina Faso living in Kripan (the Basque Country in Spain). One day, he gets a call from his brother Ali to tell him that his parents and parents-in -law have decided to "circumcise" his 6.year.old daughter, Bintou.

The cutting ceremony is scheduled to take place in a week's time. Alassane is utterly opposed to the rite, which he considers to be barbarous.

However, he needs only stay another 6 months in Spain to be automatically eligible for a residence permit. If he goes home now, however, he won't be able to come back and he will be throwing away the dream wich he has fought so hard.
