Tawfik Filali

The Moroccan adventure of Charles de Foucauld, explorer in Morocco, in 1883-1884. The ex-officer's contact with the wisdom of the Koran, the mores of the natives, the solitude on the edge of the oases made him rediscover his faith and already we guessed in him the future Father de Foucauld.

Shown in Cannes 1947.

The story tells about the bad luck of Mustafa, a farmer who is attacked along his trip to the souk while he was going to sell a cow and a chicken. He swears to give the money from the sale of these animals to the poor if he ever manages to get out of it, but does not keep his promise. The wrath of God will be unleashed upon him.
