À travers des poèmes très « punk » et « rock’n’roll », Soufiane El Khalidy nous invite à découvrir son parcours personnel et dénonce au passage les travers de la société. Son écriture dévoile une identité multiple et mouvante. Sa poésie, très libre et moderne, dépeint son enfance à Agadir, sa vie d’étudiant à Al Akhawayn, aux États-Unis, en France et en Espagne, des tournages à Hollywood en tant qu’acteur, le racisme dans l’industrie du cinéma, son regard sur les sociétés marocaines, américaines ainsi que le reste du monde, les femmes de sa vie, ses moments de joie, ses moments de doutes… 

En choisissant le cinéma, Soufiane voulait montrer un autre Maroc au reste du monde, loin des clichés habituels, de la misère, des paysages désertiques et des couleurs qu’on voit d’habitude sur nos écrans. Il écrira ces poèmes durant ses voyages et ses études, et sur les plateaux de tournage à Hollywood.
