Siddieqa, Firdaus, Abdallah, Sulayman, Mustapha, Hawwa and Dzul-kifl are the seven children of a native Dutch family that lives according to the Islam. The youngest is three, the oldest fourteen. They live under the smoke of Amsterdam on the fringes of a squatted dockland site. The film follows the children as they explore the rough terrain that is being converted into commercial properties. Each day, the children undertake another voyage of exploration. They build huts, strip a caravan, find a tree. One day, they set off to visit the shelves with sweets and snacks at the local filling station, the nearest outpost of civilisation.
