Story
Thelma and Luise in Morocco: a road movie about three women making a bid for freedom. Casablanca, Morocco. Three women are on the run from the police. It is the start of a long flight in a truck that takes them from the North through ever-changing vegetation: from the barren, craggy, red landscape of the Atlas Mountains to beautiful, verdant valleys. The difficult journey takes them ever further into the country, right down to the deep South. And the longer they are on the road, the more doubtful it seems that they will actually achieve freedom.
