Synopsis

In Morocco, the 1970s represent the last period where social struggles and dreams of change were a reality. Also called the “Years of Lead”, it was the most fertile artistic and cultural period, the one that shaped the first generation of postcolonial Moroccan artists. A glimmer of the past against censorship and darkness.
