After the success of his documentary “Tinghir Jérusalem : les échos du Mellah”, winner of several awards, including Best First Film at the 2013 Tangier National Film Festival, Kamal Hachkar returns to Israel to meet a new generation, born of Jewish-Moroccan parents. Some of these young people are passionately re-discovering their roots.
While making his first feature, Kamal Hachkar met a singer who was using the traditional Jewish-Moroccan repertory, and the chemistry between them is obvious to see. This new film follows Neta Elkayam as she tours, proudly claiming her Judeo-Berber identity.
