In a Reunion Island housing project, as the time of the sacrifice for the Aïd el-Kebir approaches, Ibrahim, 12 years old and of Comoran descent, is bullied by Evan, a neighbor of the same age, who accuses him of being an animal killer. When Ibrahim learns that a goat is about to be delivered to his building he decides to save it . . . but Evan is watching. The rescue of the goat leads to some unlikely alliances as Ibrahim attempts to succeed at the rescue against all odds.
