A mountain village where hashish is money, philosophy, and maybe a trap.
A small village high up in the mountains of Ketama, Northern Morocco. The life of the people here has been shaped by the drug hashish for centuries. Hashish as daily work, hash as exchange currency, hashish as business, hashish as basis and philosophy of a social system, hashish as medium for dreams and hashish as reason for stagnation.
Cinematography
Mountain light so gorgeous it almost justifies everything.
Direction
Gräbner watches without judging. Infuriating and rare.
