In Morocco, and VISIT (visit of the saints) is a popular practice that Jews and Muslims have always shared. Today the Jews are almost all gone, but their saints are still there. The film is a road movie in the homeland, a cinematographic pilgrimage where the director goes to meet their guardians, humble and magnificent Muslim protectors of his Jewish memory. The wound of separation is still gaping, the echo of the wars in the East hangs silently over the meeting, but the camera is reweaving the link, collect anecdotes, smiles, hospitality and blessings, bringing the film to a new bond between filmer and filmed.
