A small team travels through Marrakech and its surroundings looking for pools for the filming of the remake of the movie "The Swimmer", in which Burt Lancaster crosses a municipality, pool by pool, to get to his house. Corrado, the "substitute", runs barefoot through the streets of the city, trying to find the pools where the protagonist will swim. As we watch their struggles, we begin to see the actors and crew working on set amid doubts and screams.
