The Great Journey

The film follows Reda, who is reluctantly summoned to accompany his father on a pilgrimage. As Reda prepares for his baccalaureate, he grapples with the challenges of a secret love relationship, making the journey even more significant. The trip across Europe in a broken-down car becomes a transformative experience for both characters.

The narrative delves into themes of familial connection and generational change. As Reda and his father approach Mecca, they undergo personal growth, emerging as different individuals than they were at the beginning of their journey. The film avoids the conventional theme of returning to one's roots, instead focusing on the departure as a means to renew their bond.
