City of wait

Dir: Juan Luis de No
55' - emf/Odisea - 2005



Al-Hoceima, a city located in the Central Rif in northern Morocco, is where for the last three generations, migration to Europe has become the sole prospect for the future. A homemaker, a taxi driver, a social worker, an entrepreneur, an artist, a feminist militant and some other characters will show us a reality, near geographically, but unknown to most European citizens.

“City of Wait” wants to confront the partial views that distract us from the very fact that, behind each immigrant there is always the life of a migrant person.

REVIEWS


"La ciudad de la espera ou la Ville de L’attente est un reportage émouvant qui nous a ému et attrister, car il relate la vie quotidienne de toute une population dans une ville au nord du Maroc Al Hoceima ou les jeunes ont perdu espoir et ou les adultes vivent en amertume et ou l’écart social entre
les riches et les pauvres avoisine l’infini"
