Una caravana travessa les muntanyes de l'Atles marroquí amb la missió de conduir al patriarca moribund al poble on va néixer, en el qual espera trobar a la fi repòs. El viatge es presenta ple d'incògnites, però Ahmed i Saïd, dos vividors, asseguren conèixer el camí. En un altre lloc, potser en una altra època, Shakib, bufó entre els taxistes, és reclutat amb l'encàrrec de vigilar la caravana i assegurar que la vídua del patriarca vegi complerta la promesa de la tribu. Desorientats, hauran de superar la neu, la persecució, l'assalt i el rapte, però en un gir quixotesc, Shakib farà que «les mules volin» per a travessar les infranquejables muntanyes i transformar amb la seva fe la destinació de l'expedició.

MIGAS WITH MINT. Relations between Arab and Aragonese women in Zaragoza ¿How do we see each other? ¿How do we see those who are different and how do we see ourselves? Are we able to put ourselves in the position of the other? What happens when we accept that the other, foreign, woman, is a part of ourselves, when we accept that she lives within us? Let's listen to ourselves. Let's stablish a dialogue in which no one has the last word, in which no one is an object for the other Migas is a traditional Aragonese dish in which the main ingredient is breadcrumbs or migas

My grandfather is crazy. He does things that I do not understand. Dance, paint and look at the sky starry nights looking for some friends that are above his head. Plant the potatoes head down and make barracks for his friends. My grandfather is crazy, I think ... Also my mother and my father ... 1 Mostra de Vídeo Independent de Barcelona 1993.
“The opening of a Muslim oratory in a building in Santa Coloma de Gramenet (Barcelona), for the celebration of Ramadan in October 2004 sparked a confrontation with dye intolerance among the residents of the city and the City. No Mosque! is a documentary of dialog and reflection that analyzes causes and consequences of this conflict on the basis of testimony of all of its protagonists.” We see the escalating pressure from one section of the neighborhood, the solidarity of others (the Ateneu Popular), the pathetic response of the City Council and the Muslim community's banishment to a prayer room made from shipping containers among wire fences in an Industrial Zone... A fractal that is being repeated exponentially throughout the country.
Untitled"The Zapatista movement showed us what mirrors and masks are for. Mirrors are for leaving behind the trick mirrors that power had placed in order to deceive or self-deceive, and to offer the naked reality of social situations just as they are. The mask, curiously, is for being seen. Until this movement put masks on the indigenous people, they weren't seen - they were invisible and exploited. When they put masks on, they were seen and they helped reveal that economic, political and cultural power also wore it's own masks". Manuel Vázquez Montalbán
