In the Moroccan city of Meknes, recently married Abdelkader and Malika struggle to make ends meet. They dream of leaving the family house and finally start a life of their own together. But one day at work, Abdelkader experiences a violent incident that will turn their destiny upside down.

Named after the Berber-Roman remains of a Moroccan town, Volubilis witnesses love endure against wreckage. While present-day corruption echoes across the ancient ruins, an incredible series of amorous gazes shared between the central couple set the screen alight in this enthralling melodrama.
