About the event
Nordine is a son of a miner immigrant who has grown up in the North of France; he has to go back to his native village high in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco to bury his father according to his last will. A road movie in which Nordine meets various people… A first long feature film by this director, simple, austere sober, maintains a certain modesty… warm, peaceful. The wide landscape is greatly shot and the music, traditional Berber music, fits perfectly.
This event is free and open to the public.
Sponsored by the Department of Jewish, Islamic, and Middle Eastern Studies
Presented by Dr. Younasse Tarbouni
