Synopsis
Moroccan filmmaker Asmae El Moudir wants to know why she only has one photograph from her childhood, and why the girl in the picture isn’t even her. When her family refuses to answer her questions about the past, she hits on another solution: on a handmade replica recreating the Casablanca neighborhood where she grew up, El Moudir begins to interrogate the tales her mother, father and grandmother tell about their home and their country.
