Synopsis
In this comedy, a satellite dish salesman Thami, a former extra, befriended the great director Pier Paolo Pasolini during the shooting of Oedipus Rex in Ouarzazate in 1966. Forty years later, an Italian crew comes back to Ouarzazate to prepare the shooting of a film about the Bible. Thami is convinced that his friend Pasolini is back in town, thus triggering cinema fever in the whole village. —Africulture
