Everything is ready for the summer Ziara (pilgrimage), a period when hundreds of families come to pay their respects at the graves of their deceased, under the protection of Sidi Boulekbour, a benevolent marabout nestled at the top of the ridge, who watches over the souls of the deceased from the surrounding villages. In the bus which transports the pilgrims is JOHER, a sixty-year-old who comes for the first time to pay her respects at her sister's grave. She meets ALI, gravedigger and guardian of the cemetery. She asks him to help her organize her own funeral. The organization, step by step, of JOHER's future funeral will disrupt ALI's daily life and the cemetery will then be transformed into a love theater.
