- While writing is normally a solitary profession, occasionally literary connections between great authors spark fiery, creative tension and sometimes storytelling brilliance.
This film is the tale of two such connections, both in North Africa in the mid-twentieth century.
The first is about the French writer, Jean Genet, and the Moroccan novelist, Mohamed Choukri.
Both were brought up in dysfunctional circumstances, devoid of life’s advantages, but managed to overcome their troubled early lives.
They met in Tangier where both rose to become leading, modern literary figures and lifelong friends.
The second tells the compelling story of the conflicting lives of Nobel laureate Albert Camus and author Kateb Yacine, set against the violent backdrop of the Algerian War of Independence.
Should have spoken more about how these famous western writers/artists exploited the poor boys of tangier and took away their childhoods and innocence. It was known as queer tangier or the interzone where anything goes .
Truly heartbreaking for the children of Morocco as their country became a haven for paedophiles.
Genet and Camus were worthy mentors indeed!

Is he your uncle ? You share the same name though !
Mohamed Choukri is one of the greatest authors who gave voice to the voiceless people in Urban Morocco society.
Kateb Yacine and Albert Camus were the best Indeed, they added a lot to classical literature
Great film

Hello Mr Passolini.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. -Steve Jobs.
didn't camus grow up in abject poverty!?
He did, in the family home there wasn't even one single book. A priest noticed how clever the little boy was, so he convinced his parents to send him to school and bought him some children's books, which he remembered with gratitude for the rest of his life.
