Al-Halqa - Im Kreis der Geschichtenerzähler plot

On the Jemaa El Fna square in the Moroccan city of Marrakech, Abderahim El Maqori tells stories that he has collected in his head and heart since childhood. As he grows older, he teaches his son Zoheir the tricks of a dying trade. In the Halqa, the circle of the storyteller, the son practices his skills and the father gives his blunt criticism. When Zoheir, who takes his name from a story Abderahim told on the day of his birth, is ready, he and his father head to Fez, the intellectual capital of Morocco, for the ultimate test in the big city square.
