Said Taghmaoui, Bella Riza, Carrie Mullan, Pierre Clementi, Abigail Cruttenden, Ahmed
Boulane, Sira Stampe, Amidou, Michelle Fairley, Kevin McKidd, Peter Youngblood Hills,
Mohcine Barmouni, Annouar Zrika and Mohamed Cherkaoui. [1:38]
SEX/NUDITY 6 - A woman hugs a man from behind and kisses his neck. A
shirtless man sits on a topless woman (her bare breasts are visible a couple of times) and
feeds her fruit; they then kiss passionately. A nude man covering his genitals with a hat
runs into a lake (we see some pubic hair and his entire backside). Several times
throughout the movie we see little girls in their underwear, with and without their
shirts; twice, we see a little girl in her underwear lying on a woman's bare back.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Several women yell, push and fight and one throws tomatoes
at another. A woman gets a bloody cut on her hand. A woman grabs a girl's face, a man is
hit with a rope briefly (presumably as part of a street act) and in a dream a hand grabs a
girl's neck and chokes her. During another dream sequence we see blood, presumably from
animal carcasses being sold in a market, splashing onto the ground. Men riding horses fire
shots into the air. A car runs off the road after nearly hitting a camel. A sheet-covered
corpse is carried on a stretcher in a procession. We see some girls vomiting, a girl
faints, and a man has many large blisters on his back and shoulders. Some small explosions
in a rock quarry.
PROFANITY 5 - Three F-words, an anatomical reference seen in a subtitle,
some scatological references, a few mild obscenities, an insult, and a few British slang
terms. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Morocco, Sufism, spirituality, religion, pilgrimages,
separation, unconventional lifestyles, mother-daughter relationships, drugs (some talk and
some implied usage).
MESSAGE - Sometimes happiness comes from putting other's needs first;
sometimes you must sacrifice your dreams and desires for the sake of your loved ones.
