Farewell Exile/Rabat

Farewell Exile/15min

In the midst of an underprivileged Moroccan neighborhood, Fatima is waiting anxiously for her immigration papers so she can join her husband who migrated to France over a year ago. The absence of the husband, the misery that surrounds her, the lack of job opportunities and finances, along with the harmful environment that her naïve ten-year-old son, Mohammed, is immersed in gives her very little hope. Will the husband's letter potentially secure a brighter future for her son or will she have to make a crucial sacrifice?

Rabat/102min

When Nadir's father suddenly sends him off to drive an old taxi from Amsterdam to Rabat, his two best friends, Abdel and Zakaria, invite themselves along for a road trip. The adventure takes them through the European landscape of France and Spain to the Moroccan capital itself. Brushes with new cultures and people they encounter along the way, as well as the real reason for his trip that Nadir tries to conceal from the others, put their friendship increasingly under pressure as the trio approach Rabat.
