The film tells the harrowing story of five men and two women who embark on a desperate escape from the Tindouf camps just seven days before the 50th anniversary of the Green March—an event rich with national significance and historical weight. Armed only with a small bag, a Quran, some water, dates, and a radio, the group sets out to traverse the unforgiving desert landscape that lies between Algeria and Moroccan Sahara.

As the camera follows their perilous journey, it captures the stark reality of the fugitives moving silently across sand dunes, navigating the vast emptiness without a compass or map. Under the cover of night, they hide by day to evade patrols and bandits.

As time passes in the harsh Sahara, the group struggles against relentless sun, solitude, and the creeping threats of starvation and fatigue. They confront not only physical challenges but also their mental limits. “This escape is a pilgrimage,” Najib reflects, as each character grapples with their identity and seeks hope amid despair.

The story unfolds through a diverse cast—Driss, Mohamed, Mariam, Fatema, Brahim—each scarred from over 23 years in brutal captivity. They are resilient souls driven by love for their homeland, willing to risk everything for freedom.

The film features a talented ensemble cast, including Driss Roukhe, Mohamed Choubi, Kamal Haimoud, and many others, who bring these extraordinary characters to life, highlighting the resilience of the human spirit against overwhelming odds.
