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.
