MICA HAS TALENT, BUT DOES THE TENNIS COURT REALLY OFFER A NEW OUTLOOK?

Mica lives with his mother and his sick father in the slums of Meknès in Morocco. At the age of ten, he must alrea­dy earn money for his fami­ly. As a sui­ta­ble oppor­tu­ni­ty pre­sen­ted its­elf, he was sent to Casablanca. There he works as an assi­stant in a ten­nis club fre­quen­ted by the city’s upper class. It is a stran­ge world in which Mica has to live with humi­lia­ti­on and con­tempt and soon rea­li­zes that he must take his fate into his own hands. Fleeing to Europe seems to be the only way out. Only when the for­mer Tennis cham­pion Sophia reco­gni­zes his talent on the ten­nis court, a new oppor­tu­ni­ty ari­ses for Mica.
