i think i posted this somewhere but can't recall where, might aswell review it since pilgrimage season's back:


Réda (Nicolas Cazalé) is a French-Moroccan teenager due to sit for*Baccalauréat. When his devout father (played by Mohamed Majd) asks Réda to accompany him on a*pilgrimage to Mecca, he reluctantly agrees. However, the father insists that they travel by*car.

As both embark on a road trip thousands of kilometres away from*southern France, the once-icy father-and-son relationship starts to thaw as both gradually come to know each other. Réda speaks only in*Frenchto his father, who is seen speaking only*Arabic*for the majority of the film. Later, when necessary, the father proves that he in fact speaks impeccable French; his choice to speak only Arabic to his son is therefore purposeful.

Along the way, the two meet several interesting characters. The son learns about Islam and why his father thought it would be preferable to make the pilgrimage by car rather than by plane.After all their hardships, they reached Mecca but the father died soon after.

The route taken by the father and son goes from Provence,*Francethrough*Italy,*Slovenia,*Croatia,* Serbia,*Bulgaria,*Turkey,*Syria, and*Jordan*before reaching*Saudi Arabia.
