With his friend Salek, also an orphan, Rashid boxes every day for others to bet to save up enough money to smuggle into Europe, living behind the shabby life in Morocco. However, to realize their dream, they have to endure exploitation from adults and overcome fraud. Eventually, the two boys arrive in Tangier, a port city in northern Morocco, only 27 kilometers from Spain. On their way, they meet Illy, a boy who dreams of becoming a football player. The three boys try to go to Spain together, but the journey is filled with dangers. Will they be able to overcome all kinds of hardships and achieve their dreams?
