Samba Ndong and Modu Samb, staff from the Maison de la Gare a charity that seeks to rehabilitate ex-Talibe (children who live and study the Koran at a Daara, religious school), come across Omar Sow, a young boy sleeping rough near the central bus station, while on night patrol looking for Talibe sleeping rough. They offer the boy a bed and food at the Maison de la Gare.
Talibe often have issues that stem from being separated from their parents at a young age and the abuse they endure at the Daaras where they are expected to beg to raise money for the Daara's marabout and to get food to fed themselves.
