In this somewhat unusual adventure comedy, we follow two friends—a failed singer-songwriter and his companion—who decide to embark on a journey to Morocco to try their luck in the music world. However, their dream turns into a series of misadventures when they find themselves in a country in the midst of a conflict, more specifically, in a desert they never could have imagined.

It all begins when they enter a music competition in the capital, where their performance is anything but memorable. But instead of returning home, the two naive friends get caught up in a plot of espionage and humor when they cross paths with a trio of secret agents. One of them is on a mission to find a mysterious jewel, and the two friends end up inadvertently involved, setting off a hilarious series of entanglements.

As they try to escape this dangerous situation, the friends must use their charm (and their typical clumsiness) to survive in an unfamiliar environment. As the story progresses, themes of friendship, loyalty, and a touch of social critique emerge, all seasoned with the characteristic humor of the protagonists. The combination of absurd situations, along with a rich and entertaining cultural backdrop, makes this film a unique cinematic experience.
