Synopsis

A polyphonic portrait of the city of Casablanca through the intersecting itineraries of three characters: a bookseller who receives an unexpected correspondence that forces him to question himself deeply, a young teacher whose application for a passport triggers an absurd investigation, and a teenager who, because of a misunderstanding with his fundamentalist teacher, becomes the victim of a manipulation with tragic consequences.[8][9][10]
