In Praise of Slowness
Tangier is located on the Strait of Gibraltar in Morocco, a very remote spot on the map. But it has also been overtaken by the ever-accelerating lifestyle and global economic and technological processes that have pushed many professions into the margins. Like the bleach salesman who walks the streets of a fast-growing city earning 100 Moroccan dirhams daily. This film is like a capsule, an attempt to preserve and capture what is unique but almost lost.
