17-year-old Ben visits Heinrich, his father, an acclaimed stage director who is at a theater festival in Marrakech with his latest play. But his trip does not start out like a tale from 1001 Nights. The surroundings are as unfamiliar to him as his father, with whom he has had little contact since his parents' divorce. And yet he is to spend his summer vacation with him. As the two continue to drift apart, Ben immerses himself in this exotic country and, shunning his father's luxury hotel, sets out on his own search in this foreign world. He falls in love with Karima and follows her to her remote village. When Heinrich doesn't hear from Ben for days, he, reluctantly at first, then increasingly concerned, begins searching for his missing son. As the two travel through this strange land, anything and everything seems possible. They can lose each other for good or find each other anew. (Berlinale)
