The guide sells the gun to a goatherd, who entrusts it to his two pre-teen sons to keep jackals away from the herd. The younger son, Yussef (Boubker Ait El Caid), a better shot with a more reckless disposition, tests the rifle's shooting distance by taking thoughtless aim at a bus on the road below their mountain redoubt.
