Yachine is a boy who lives in Sidi Moumen, a slum in Morocco. He is always jealous of his charismatic elder brother Hamid. One day, an accident occurs and led by Hamid, Yachine joins a fundamentalist group and completely changes his life. Winner of the Cannes 2012 Francois Chalais Award, this film, based on a novel by Mahi Binebine and directed by Nabil Ayouch, was inspired by a terrorists' attack which occurred in Casablanca in May 16, 2003. The film touches upon the core of this little-explored issue - how suicide bombers are trained. The typical training process of young Islamists is juxtaposed with the conflict between the two brothers, creating a universally touching story rather than a political one. The soccer scene at the beginning of the film is special because it not only shows that time has passed but it also seems to reflect the unchanged life conditions of the boys living in the slum. Realistic characters and their dramatic acting draw attention and the last close-up shot lingers in the memory. (RHEE, Soue-won)
