Daoud Aoulad-Syad's previous film, "Waiting for Pasolini," has just wrapped in a small Moroccan town and, although the village's citizens have destroyed all the sets, the film's mosque facade remains and has become a frequent place of worship. This is bad news for Moha, who farms the land to feed his family. Aoulad-Syad adds another thoughtful and entertaining film to his growing repertoire.
Director Daoud Aoulad-Syad's previous film, "Waiting for Pasolini," literally has just wrapped in a small Moroccan village and, although the village's citizens have destroyed all the other sets, the film's faux mosque remains intact. At first, this seems fairly fortuitous for the town since it has become a local place of worship and a draw for tourism. However, it is bad news for Moha (Abdelhadi Touhrach), one of the film's extras who farmed the land to feed his family before renting it to the producers. Frustrated by conflicting opinions and misunderstandings, yet not about to back down, Moha goes on a mission to find someone to see the situation his way . Director Aoulad-Syad plays wonderfully with the concept of a film inside a film, and constructs a humorous but insightful look at movie-making, politics and religion.
