Synopsis
According to the summary of the Moroccan Cinematographic Centre, taken up by Africultures and Filmexport, the film tells a heartbreaking love story marked by the vicissitudes of the struggle against foreign occupation: a couple of the land strives to save an innocent relationship and the heritage of their civilisation, in a spirit of purity and sacrifice. Other forces come into play, born of the contradiction between self-assertion and submission to foreign influences; Roy Armes sums it up as the story of a couple struggling against the occupier.
