Les Casablancais
1999, French. Directed by Abdelkader Lagtaa.
A portrait of a large Maghrebian city at the end of the century, Casablanca, through the intersecting paths of three characters: a bookseller who receives unexpected correspondence that forces him to question himself; a young teacher whose application for a passport triggers an absurd official investigation; and finally, a student who, due to a misunderstanding with his fundamentalist teacher, becomes the object of a manipulation with tragic consequences.
