For centuries, the most talented storytellers have been performing their craft in the unique
market square Jemâa El Fna in Marrakesh. Recently, their oral transmissions have been declared
as “Intangible World Heritage” by UNESCO.
Abderahim is one of the most well known storytellers on the square. He takes his son Zoheir
on a journey through Morocco. Zoheir experiences that there is much more to storytelling
than just voice, rhythm and intonation. He has to learn that the first story to know
is your own.
