Seidou, a young filmmaker, lives at the gateway to the desert in the small city of Gorom-Gorom in northern Burkina Faso.
When in 2018 his neighbour and friend, a truck driver, is taken hostage following an attack on a convoy by terrorist groups, he understands that his city is now a target. Seidou realizes that the only way, his way, to resist violent extremism is his camera. He begins to film the daily life of a family, that of his neighbours and that of his friend's mother who still
has hope to reconnect with her missing son.
