Synopsis

At the end of filming, the filming team leaves the village. Villagers demolish all the sets, except the mosque. This mosque became a real place of prayer for the whole village. For Moha this is a real disaster. He just wants his land back, and it seems that he’s the only one around who realizes that the “mosque” is just a prop, literally propped up from behind like any cardboard Western might create an instant church, saloon, or hotel. —avuncularamerican
