A solitary young poet finds solace in wandering the city streets at dusk, gazing at the houses and the lives of passersby. One evening, he saves a young woman from suicide. Drawn together by this chance encounter, the two get to know each other and share their life stories with heartfelt sincerity. For the past year, she has been waiting for her lover, who has promised to marry her. Despite this, the poet falls in love with her. However, fate has different plans.

In a quiet Moroccan village nestled between sun-baked hills, 13-year-old Mira lives with her stern, widowed grandmother, Zainab. Her world is simple. Trees. Traps. The flutter of wings. Mira spends her days freeing wild birds, chasing shadows through pine-scented forests. But one day, strangers arrive. Illegal immigrants. Foreign. Silent. Hunted. They speak in a language she doesn't know – but something in her stirs.
