Death for Sale

Morocco

Faouzi Bensaidi

Three friends strive to preserve their loyalty to each other in spite of a corrupt society. These young men live in Tétouan, an impoverished Moroccan city. Soufiane, the youngest, spends his days pilfering. Allal, the oldest, is trying to gain a foothold as a drug dealer. Malik falls in love with Dounia who works as a prostitute in a night club. The three friends part to make their own way in life, but before long it looks as though their futures will founder in a maelstrom of violence, greed, jealousy and betrayal. Seeing no other way out, they decide to get together and raid a jeweller's shop. Faouzi Bensaïdi is a cinemalover, who is able to play with genres and gives his stories a kind of wings, so they can fly even when they are sad. «Death For Sale» is a strong tale out of the so-called Arabian spring.
