MedFilm Festival 2009 Opening Film



Réda, summoned to accompany his father on a pilgrimage to Mecca, complies reluctantly - as he preparing for his bachelor’s degree and, even more important, has a secret love relationship. As both embark on a road trip thousands of kilometres away from southern France in a broken-down car, the once-icy father-and-son relationship starts to thaw as both gradually come to know each other.
