Here, he is to await the expected but by no means certain visit of King Hassan II. Encounters with government supporters and the families of political prisoners; the mysterious appearance of a foreign woman and a Berber, as well as the story of a football crazy boy all prove to be a bit much for Daoud.

The Moroccan team’s success unleashes a new self-confidence and lust for life that transcends the surreal shadow of the monarchy.Read More
