Another Night

Moad, a man in his early thirties, still lives with his parents, lacks a place of privacy to pursue his intimate affairs. At one time, he has to hitchhike to a nearby town to sleep with a stranger he scarcely knows. What follows is an odyssey in the Moroccan night where a landscape of marginalized individuals unfolds. Prostitutes, petty criminals, homosexuals as well as victims of domestic violence, frustrated artists and weary nostalgic people. All of them mingle in this nocturnal journey that Moad must go through to satisfy a basic human need.
