When 350,000 Moroccans embark on a peaceful march in 1975, a wife's quiet vigil at home becomes as heroic as her husband's desert odyssey-until a radio broadcast transforms waiting into celebration and private devotion into public triumph.

The film is set in Tangier, a city in northern Morocco known for its rich cultural heritage and vibrant artistic scene. It features Iliass, a young interdisciplinary artist who skillfully merges four distinct art forms—blurring the lines between tradition and modernity—to create a singular, innovative expression. Through Iliass's journey, the film explores the dynamic interplay of identity, creativity, and the transformative power of art, set against the backdrop of Tangier’s unique blend of Mediterranean and Moroccan influences.

This film offers a unique experience for me, as my roots and identity gradually diminished over time. The narrative of Tangier focuses on integrating the past into the present, rather than transitioning from the present to the past. Your duty is to convey these memories, not to relive or replicate them. The life you are currently living shapes the future you will experience. Therefore, be authentic and share your memories and heritage with future generations. We are here. We live.
