Synopsis

The two adolescents in this film are black, practising Muslims - lovers in a post 9-11 America. They try to hide their relationship from friends and family but the discovery of a used condom in one of their rooms raises serious doubts. As they spend the day together selling lottery tickets on the street, they become the subject of suspicion for a FBI agent who follows them like a shadow, convinced that they are planning a terrorist attack... The two friends will have to find their way through familial constraints, the racism that surrounds them, their faith and above all, their love for each other.
