Alaa Eddine Aljem

A short film reimagines the 12th-century pilgrimage of one of history’s greatest explorers. Inspired an 800-year-old Andalusian text that describes the titular traveler’s pilgrimage to Mecca (1183 - 1185), The Travels of Ibn Jubayr blends incisive wit with richly textured imagery to illuminate the political, social, and cultural landscapes of the medieval Islamic world and their echoes today. The creative team includes Cannes-nominated director Alaa Eddine Aljem, writer Bane Fakih, award-winning cinematographer Amine Messadi, and composer Maurice Louca.

Following a stint behind bars, a thief returns to where he buried his loot, only to find that his hiding spot is now a shrine to an unknown saint.

A group of migrants are looking to reach Eldorado, a secret utopian island where everyone lives in peace. They eventually arrive in a tomato sauce factory of the same name.

In a rocky mountain village cut off from secondary education, siblings Mohammed and Fatima face the abrupt end of school at twelve. Standing at their childhood’s end, they are forced into an uncertain passage toward adult life.

The Son wants to become a fisherman and dreams of going to the sea. The Father is a mortician who does not understand his son's desire to leave their land. The Mother, seriously ill, wants to see her family happy.
