- Summary:
- A group of street urchins living in the hard streets of Casablanca lead lives filled with violence, begging, and indifference. Their bond of friendship and family is cut short when Ali is senselessly killed at the beginning of the film by a blow to the head by a rival gang. His friends decide not to report his death to the police, who would have the boy buried in a potter's field. Instead they decide to give him a worthy burial, to bury Ali on the private island he so often dreamed of.
- "Architecture of assurance" weaves documentary interviews into the story of a young girl who one afternoon goes exploring in a suburban California neighborhood, where she is utterly convinced that the people she spies on have happier lives than she does.
