Zeinixx paints a portrait of the first Senegalese graffiti artist and slammer Dieynaba Sidibé. In March 2021, a popular uprising broke out in Dakar and several other major cities in Senegal, just as she travelled to Geneva to create a fresco as part of the FIFDH's 19th edition. Forced to experience these decisive events remotely, we discover the political commitment of the Senegalese urban youth alongside her.

Anas, a former rapper, is hired as an animator in a cultural centre in Casablanca. With his help, the teenagers will embrace rap and hip-hop as a means of expressing their rage, fears and rejection of tradition. Inspired by his childhood, Nabil Ayouch (Much Loved, Razzia) captures the energy of a Moroccan youth on the verge of implosion, its furious need for change and the liberating power of music, carried by an outstanding cast of young non-professional actors.
