Le Grand Voyage
(2004, France/Morocco)


Description: Reda, who lives with his family in southern France, is about to take his college entrance exams. One day he is told to drive his father to Mecca to perform the Hajj. The journey is difficult because of the distance, and due to the emotional and generational distance between him and his father. Ultimately, the journey to Mecca is as impacting as the arrival in the holy city.
