This is a realistic love story between a Moroccan soldier and an Alsatian woman beginning at the end of WWII. It follows their life as they create a household, build a farm, and experience life together in a mixed race, bicultural family in the 50s and 60s. The cultural conflicts and genuine efforts of connection weave a pragmatic tale filled with the trials and tribulations of everyday life in a unique period of time in Morocco - the beginning of the end.
