Every day, Chouaib, a 20-year-old, goes door to door, trying—sometimes successfully, sometimes not—to sell frozen products to strangers. Since his father left, he has lived alone with his mother and sister. Rather than following the conventional path to success, Chouaib is determined to chase his dream of becoming a rap star. With firm determination, he and his group of friends push forward, supporting each other in their relentless pursuit of a better life.

Ogni giorno Chouaib, 20 anni, bussa alle porte degli sconosciuti e fa del suo meglio per vendere cibo surgelato. Rimasto solo con la madre e la sorella da quando il padre se n'è andato di casa, Chouaib si allontana dal classico modello di successo con la convinzione di poter vivere il suo sogno: diventare una star del rap. Con determinazione lui e il suo gruppo di amici si impegnano e si sostengono a vicenda, alla ricerca di una vita grandiosa.
