Casablanca: the last high school year. The carelessness of the Moroccan wealthy youth and all its excess: car races, friendship, music and alcohol, but also the anxiety of becoming an adult. Marock presents a Morocco that we don't know, the one against which Rita, 17 years old, struggles. While living her first love story, she has to fight the contradictions of her environment, her family and especially, her brother who, more and more, believes in traditional values.
