UntitledA documentary filmed in Andalucia, dealing with illegal immigration from Morocco. This politically far-sighted film tells the stories of these Moroccan immigrants and the shame and impotence they feel, unable to return home and reveal their failure to their families and friends. "When men cry..." is when they realize that they are in a dead-end street. A moment of unbearable suffering, beyond limits. The end of everything, the unspeakable. A cry from the soul that falls into the bland silence of a system that is too well organized and determined to buy their strength and their silence. A cry within absolute silence. An extreme situation in which it is impossible to leave, and impossible to stay.
1998, Tangier. Conversations in the bar La Poste with Tangerian writer Mohammed Chukri and New York poet Ira Cohen, stories of death, separation and loss under the mantle of friendship.

In the mid-1950s and beyond, Tangier became a haven for artists, poets, and intellectuals. Drawn by the influence of Paul Bowles, members of the Beat Generation flocked to this northern Moroccan city, seeking inspiration, a space to complete their creative endeavors, and a taste of the Moroccan dream. Despite the significant contributions of Moroccan artists and intellectuals to this cultural milieu, Western narratives often marginalized their presence, reducing them to mere shadows or omitting them altogether. This film serves as a tribute to this profound intersection of dreams and dislocated realities.

UntitledThe night crossing of a Mediterranean city by car. Its passenger stay there almost invisible, absorbed by the urban view. A voice confirms a lonely night wandering in a city by the sea, an urban journey made to let the time pass away. Who crosses this city isn't only passing through it. He's a local, for a night, before an exile without return.
