Under the gloomy sky of Akechmir, a remote province near the Mont Atlas lives a modest coal family, an ancestral heritage. The father Ouchen, a brutish man wants to bequeath this tradition to his son. Unfortunately, he does not get a son worthy to succeed him. Then, he decides to change his elder daughter, an androgyne named Androman.

In a Berber village, it is customary for male sons to inherit the occupations of their fathers to ensure continuity of their lifestyle and livelihood. A society where right to inheritance of land is only reserved for men.
The film is a story of a girl whose father (a charcoal trader) deliberately turns her into a boy so that he doesn't lose his land and property. Because A terrible internal contradiction, a struggle with the self and a struggle with the environment, the sadness of submission and the anthem of rebellion.
