AZIZ and ITTO: a Moroccan Wedding

STORY

A dramatic film about AZIZ, a young Arab who goes to the annual Brides Fair in Imilchil.  When he marries ITTO, a young Berber girl, and invites her parents to return to Fez with him for a traditional wedding, he forces his parents to reevaluate their views of the Berber ethnic group.

CULTURAL BACKGROUND

Aziz is a shoemaker or "kharraz" in Moroccan Arabic.  He makes the traditional leather slip-ons or balgha.  These types of slip-ons are very popular with religious Moroccans because they are easy to take-off and put on for the five daily prayers.  These shoes have been made the same way for a thousand years.
