In Morocco, a troubled married couple is on vacation trying to work out their differences. Meanwhile, a Moroccan herder buys a rifle for his sons so they can keep the jackals away from his herd. A girl in Japan coping with rejection, the death of her mother, the emotional distance of her father, her own self-consciousness, and a disability struggles with modern life in the enormous metropolis of Tokyo, Japan.
