Synopsis: In hellish Casablanca, the burning love story between has-been rocker Larsen and the streetwise prostitute Rajae sets ablaze a crazy Moroccan underworld in this story of passion, trauma, and rock โn roll. The only hope for their blooming romance is to skip this ferocious town, and for these punk Romeo and Juliet, maybe the answer lies in a song - the one theyโve been writing and dreaming together: Zanka Contact.
Directorโs Biography: Born in 1983, Ismaรซl El Iraki lives between Casablanca and Paris, where he studied directing at La Femis. His award-winning short films reinvent genre tropes relocated to his native Morocco.
