Itar el-layl

Aïcha, a young orphan, is found alone in the forests of central Morocco, after being taken from her home and sold to a petty criminal. Soon after escaping, she crosses paths with Zacaria, a Moroccan/Iraqi writer, who has left everything behind -- including a passionate relationship with a teacher, Judith -- to search for his missing brother. The trio's intersecting journeys lead audiences across Morocco, to Istanbul, the plains of Kurdistan, and beyond.
