Tarik lives in a land without colour, a land where water is contaminated by a strange phenomenon of “water bugs”. Tarik wears make-up and dresses up as a woman. He dances on a cart that is drawn by a dying horse and his father has practically abandoned him. One day, Tarik’s horse Larbi stops in the middle of a procession and refuses to take another step forward. Tarik will have to learn to live again and surrender to the colours of his life, which is the only way to escape the dullness of the world around him.

Tarik, a cross-dressing troubadour who performs traditional dances and shunned by those around him. Crippled by inertia, he is unable to feel emotion even when faced with the man who killed his family. Larbi, the family horse who pulls the cart on which Tarik dances, won't take another step. And word has it the drinking water has been contaminated. And Tarik's false persecution as a homosexual where homosexuality is still palimpsest and a criminal offense.
