The film takes place in a fictive Arab country that could be Morocco. In the midst of social turmoil happening in oil refinery plants, an American company uses corruption to get into the local oil business, leading to a peak in revolts. A minister who was trying to denounce the ongoing corruption and the subsequent impoverishment of the country fails to control the revolts and ends up in jail.[2][3][4]
