Description
dir: Ismaël Ferroukhi | France, Morocco | 108 min |
A few weeks before his college entrance exams, Réda finds himself obligated to drive his curmudgeonly father on a pilgrimage from France to Mecca. This is perhaps the first feature film to capture the “incredible spectacle [of the Hajj]: an authentic religious phenomenon which is largely invisible and under-imagined in Western culture.”
