With the age, some of the men become more sensitive to the question of their roots. Often pushed by the faintness that creates in them certain floating of the identity or vague desire to live new experiences, they dive then into a distant past in search of possible tracks of the fact what was their story. But their adventure is all the more precarious as their origins are situated in a country of which they ignore everything. For Richard, this obsession was almost transformed into need. In fifty years, and in spite of the resistance of his wife Colette, he landed one day in a town of the Moroccan South where he had been born. To the Palace of the poor people, a strange hotel where they had to spend at night after a misadventure in the desert, Richard met the old man Charjane, old professor of plastic arts who revealed him the secret of Mabrouka. But Richard was not the only one to return in his native land; he did not still know that the former house of his parents was desired by certain Kinston, American in mission of cooperation. Kheira, beggar transformed in sensual dancer will fly away with Richard in even more mysterious places through this country about which he had always dreamed, Morocco.
