    How to get around the taboos !
    I love this drama-romance movie by great Moroccan director Abdelhai Laraki, that explore here (after Nedali's novel) the wild imagination of a frustrated young butcher full of desire and appetit for life ! The sexual freedom is a big issue in our muslim and patriarchal society. People have to be very inventive to get around the taboos ! Delightful soundtrack by Richard Horowitz, poetic and glamourous love scenes. Enjoy!
