The rediscovery of his parents’ archival images led Ivan Boccara to question his roots, his identity and that of the whole population that left Morocco nearly 40 years ago.
The director returns to the roots of his family’s history, starting from footage his parents filmed 40 years ago depicting the Jewish population in Ntifa, a village in the Grand Atlas Mountains in Morocco. He revisits the village, where he meets the few remaining Jews, and also visits those who left nearly 40 years ago to go to France and Israel. He explores the role that the Jewish Agency played in convincing people to leave their country to emigrate to Israel. Do they still remember Ntifa? What relationship do they have today with their roots?
