Mohamed, Mounir, Nouredin and friends have a lot of fun and a lot of anger inside them. Sometimes, a mere detail can trigger this rage and things become a matter of life and death. Although they were born in the Netherlands, the young Moroccans feel alien and unwanted. Having said that, they somehow get by – the centre of their lives being Ali’s snack bar in a Rotterdam suburb where they can hang out, smoke a joint, argue with one another and generally amuse themselves. Ali, who runs the snack bar with his wife and children, has become something of an uncle to the young men. He knows how to handle them. He listens to their trouble, sorts out their rows and, if necessary, takes tough action. Nevertheless, Ali has problems of his own, which he cannot solve.
