The Moroccan-born movie director explores in this documentary the 2000-year-old mellah (Jewish quarter) in his family's village of Tinghir, Morocco, and follows the trail of the town's once substantial Jewish population to descendants in Israel. In the film, he talks about Sephardic Jews who still hold tight to their Moroccan identity.
This movie is a message of tolerance imbued with centuries-old values of coexistence and peace which have always distinguished Morocco, he told MAP.
