4 and 5 March, 2024

Set over a single night, this tightly wound thriller charts a kidnapping gone awry at the hands of a financially struggling father and son who are on a job for the local mob.

A father (Abdellatif Masstouri) and his son (Ayoub Elaïd) are trying to make ends meet. They find themselves with trouble – and a body – on their hands after taking on what should have been an easy job for the local kingpin (Abdellah Lebkiri). Kamal Lazraq’s fast-paced and tightly wound thriller follows the pair through the night-time streets of Casablanca as they try to dispose of the dead man by dawn – a task made more difficult by Hasan’s spiritual conscience. A gritty and bleak film noir with a hint of mordant humour, lent additional realism by the largely non-professional cast.

Berber Languages and English with English subtitles.
