Basma, a young Moroccan filmmaker and former alpine skier, embarks on a personal journey of discovery when, at 25, she stumbles upon old VHS tapes in her father Aziz’s library. On the tapes, she sees herself at age three, strapping on her first pair of skis at Oukaimeden, a snow-capped mountain just 70 km from her hometown, Marrakech. Curious about her childhood memories, Basma returns to Oukaimeden, only to find the landscape drastically altered. The once-thriving ski resort, originally a vast pasture where shepherds brought their flocks to graze, is now a relic. How did a ski resort emerge in a region where snowfall is rare and skiing seems unimaginable? She meets Fadma, a café owner in her early forties and the only woman running a business in Oukaimeden. Fadma, whose family practises transhumance, shares stories passed down through generations. Basma also speaks with Mohamed, a septuagenarian caretaker of the Moroccan Royal Ski Federation chalet, who recounts the resort’s colonial origins, built in the 1930s by a French marshal. As Basma reflects on Oukaimeden today, with abandoned ski lifts and snowless peaks, she is confronted by a transformed landscape—one that echoes the broader impacts of climate change and human intervention.
