In the old imperial city of Fez, at sunset, in a magnificent former stately home shared today by rural tenants recently moved to the city, a mother tells stories. A working woman abandoned by her husband who emigrated to Europe, she tries to console her son who was "abducted" to be circumcised without her knowledge. Her stories will focus on the themes of cruelty, obedience, transgression, religious extremism, and exile.
