Synopsis

In Marrakech, veteran dyer Moha and his son Miloud carry bundles of woolen thread. Thus begins the painstaking work of weaving carpets destined for sale abroad, and the hard work of the men, women and girls. With hardly any dialogue, the film illustrates the inhuman conditions of workers and the class struggle in Morocco in the 1970s.
