The Chant of Noria

Original · نغم الناعورة

Zeineb, thirty, is happy to divorce, she thinks it will be her door to freedom. Mhamed, an archaeologist, imagines that emigration will be his door to the future. His chance encounter with Zeineb, his first love, plunges him into dreams that oppose his plans. Ali, coming back from America, his head full of ideas and calculations, wants to shine at all costs. In an American convertible, the three go south to Metlaoui.
