Synopsis

edit

In the old medina of Fez, a mother narrates three tales to her son; the first one is about a Jemaa El Fna monkey trainer and three boys. The second, a love encounter between a young man and woman in Essaouira. Then comes the story of an old fisherman from Tangier who is ridiculed by his companions for believing he can find a treasure in the insides of a sea monster.[12][2][13][14]
