Synopsis:
In this film, we delve into the memory of place to present an accurate, audio-visual documentation of significant landmarks within the quarters of Assa Palace in southern Morocco—known locally as "Laqsar." This palace stands out for its rich historical and architectural heritage. Through the stories of three residents—Bouzid, Sahaba, and Mabarek—we uncover their efforts to safeguard this legacy and explore the cultural weight of one of Morocco’s most remarkable historical sites.
