Summaries

After accidentally confronting his estranged father about his lack of responsibility, 17-year-old Ben spends his nights in sleazy nightclubs. There, a girl named Karima helps him tackle his issues.

Troubled teenager Ben (16) unintentionally confronts his father Heinrich (Tukur), a successful German theatre director staging a play in Marrakesh, with his past and his neglected responsibilities. After a falling out with his estranged father, Ben loses himself in the shadowy Medina and sleazy nightclubs of Marrakesh, where he meets a feisty Berber girl Karima (18) and follows her to her hometown, far beyond the city and across unfamiliar and barren land. She helps him gain the courage to stand up to his father.—Anonymous
