Bye-Bye Souirty plot

An old van travels from city to city in the drought-stricken south of Morocco. Its owner is Kacem, an old and ailing showman who tries to earn his living with a wheel of fortune. He has one employee: Rabii ("Spring"), a gentle young dancer in cross-dressing. The third person in the van is Kacem's son, Larbi. He has been in Belgium for a number of years. He tells Rabii that he was a boxer there, but in reality he spent three years in prison. Between father and son there is a distance that borders on hatred. Rabii does not understand where it comes from, but does feel their enormous loneliness. The three of them travel around, but their work becomes increasingly difficult, especially when the authorities refuse them permits for various reasons.
