Overview

Larbi Trach is a retired Moroccan migrant worker who has lived in France for over fifty years. One day, he learns that not only is he suffering from a serious illness, but that he has only three months to live. The shock, which is great, is coupled with a serious question: how will he break such dramatic news to his children? Turning the question in his head, he plunges into the past, revisiting his early years in Morocco.
