Director: Alaa Eddine Aljem
Cast: Younes Bouab, Salah Ben Saleh, Bouchaib Semmak One day, Amine buries a bag of stolen money on a hill in the middle of the desert, making it look like a derelict grave. Years later, when he returns from prison, having completed his sentence, he goes to the fake grave, only to find that the place has become a shrine for an unknown saint. It is a shrine where tourists seek healing and local people make money. Amine has to sneak into that shrine and "steal" the money he has hid. A clever, bold and thought-provoking black comedy from Morocco about religious belief and its capitalist consequences.
