Rahal, a drug trader, moves from Imzouren, a traditional town in the Rif Mountains, to Tangier, a city embodying modernity with its Westernized lifestyle and fast-paced environment. Imzouren is characterized by naivety and simplicity, reflecting the traditions of a rural community. Rahal's wife, who remains behind in Imzouren, symbolizes these traditional values, sitting cross-legged on a cane mat and patiently spinning sheep wool as she waits for her husband's return. However, in Tangier, Rahal seeks to satisfy the demands of his mistress, Samira, and distances himself from his traditional past. Despite his efforts to embrace modernity, he feels moments of regret and pain as he recalls the faithfulness of his wife and realizes that his life of drug trading and debauchery will end in disaster. He considers breaking off his relationship with Samira and bringing his wife to Tangier to start a family, acknowledging that he is getting older and it may be time to settle down. Yet, these reflections are too late, as he is caught by the police while loading drugs. This conflict between modernity and tradition reflects the broader struggle many Moroccans face as they navigate the complex dynamics of a world characterized by transnational migrations and cultural appropriations, highlighting the challenges of balancing traditional values with the pressures of modern life.
