A Muslim Childhood

Plot

A solitary young Muslim living in 1950s-era Tangiers drifts between a world of religious conviction and a secular realm of forbidden temptations in director Moumen Smihi's entry into the 2007 Arab Film Festival. Larbi is a timid young boy who currently seems to be caught somewhere between a kaleidoscope of cultures: His father is a devout Muslim, his mother is a modern woman, and his classmates at the French school he attends hail from a variety of different backgrounds. The one place where this drifting young soul feels most comfortable is in the International Zone of Tangiers - a seductively enticing realm where the light of forbidden cinema shines bright, and an intoxicating decadence beckons from afar. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
