Assarab plot

Morocco during French colonial rule. Mohamed is one of the rural poor dependent on alms. One day he finds a bundle of banknotes in a sack of flour which he humbly accepted and dragged home. Mohamed heads to the city of Salé to exchange the unexpected windfall. But the money turns out to be more of a curse than a blessing.
