42-year-old TV host Eveline buys a camera for her upcoming holiday. Afterwards, a Moroccan boy asks her for the time and she forgets to keep an eye on her bag. When she turns around,
the camera is gone.
Feeling naïve and ashamed for being so careless, she promises her husband to get the insurance company to reimburse it. They, however, consider her case a matter of “loss”, not “theft”, and accuse her of negligence. Frustrated, Eveline files a police report, stating that the bag was pulled from her hands. But when she is asked why she did not fight back, she finds herself claiming that the boy threatened her with a knife.
The report is filed and the insurance company reimburses the camera, but then the police unexpectedly find her stolen camera – and the boy. With her public image as a trustworthy TV personality at stake, Eveline quietly tries to undo what she did, while the now imprisoned 17-year-old Yousef desperately tries to keep from spiralling into the depths of juvenile delinquency and marginalisation.
