Original language: Arabic
When a recently released bandit (Younes Bouab) returns to the place he buried the stolen loot, he is surprised to find a new shrine -- that of the "Unknown Saint" -- perched atop his once-ingenious hiding place. In the years since his arrest, a bustling village has grown next to the much-visited holy site, which is now a valuable tourist attraction relentlessly guarded by an array of quirky locals and a beloved guard dog. Searching desperately for a way to recover his buried treasure, the thief is forced to take up residence in the village and join forces with his former cellmate, "Ahmed the Brain" (Salah Ben Saleh).
