Hossein, a teenage boy who is connected to the increasingly globalized world, dreams of a freer future far from his native Tangier. His mother Naïma, however, is determined not to let him follow in his brothers’ tragic footsteps, and takes him to the south against his will. In this new setting he gets his first taste of romantic love and disillusionment, and eventually reconnects with his mother, whose devotion he had previously shunned.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
