Synopsis
In Algeria, in the arid mountainous landscapes of the Aurs, a family learns from the police that their eldest son Belkacem has died in an accident, while doing his military service. On hearing the news, Mouloud immediately sets off to the city on his old tractor to retrieve his son's body, wishing to give him a decent burial. Mouloud's journey is plagued by suffering and loneliness. On his return, he realizes that his wife Fatima is grieving deeply. Fearing that she will never feel happy again, Mouloud tries everything to make her smile, refusing to give up because, like all the peasants in the hostile lands of the Aurs, he knows that "To give up is to die a little...".
