Malika is annoyed, first by the fact she has to drive a broken-down truck to deliver two coffins to the families of the respective deceased and, secondly, by the idiocy of her companion Hassan, who is supposed to be in charge of paperwork. It is only after they have arrived at the second house that Hassan admits he got the coffins confused and each family has the wrong body. Along with their idle intern, they have to sort out which matters more: the satisfaction of the living or the sanctity of the dead.

In a vast cornfield on the outskirts of a Moroccan village, five characters, each prey to their own fears, cross paths. Nine-year-old Bilal, mischievous and daring, is pursued by a farmer after stealing a melon. He hides, terrified by the scarecrows he mistakes for his pursuer. After his sheep causes trouble in the village, Brahim, a 60-year-old villager, tries to turn himself in but backs down in the face of authority. Taja, 75, sells her jewelry to pay for having her traditional tattoos removed, fearing divine punishment. Meanwhile, Dalila and Omar, in love, hide from the eyes of Dalila's family, fighting off fears of an honor killing. As their paths cross one by one, the cornfield becomes a place of confrontation and reconciliation, culminating in a wedding celebration. Taja offers her jewels as a gift to the young lovers, sealing their fates.
