Lalla Hobby pointillés

by Mohamed Abderrahman Tazi


Illust: 01, 27.2 kb, 380x250

"When finishing the first part "A la recherche du mari de ma femme", I realized that this wasn’t the end of the story, that it had to continue. Lalla Hobby is, from this point of view, the logical extension of a process which was started in the first part of the story. The first film reveals certain social aspects as well as people’s attitudes in their home country compared with those they adopt once they find themselves in a foreign land. "Lalla Hobby" is also an attempt at sketching a comic and cheerful portrait, of taking a look at a illegal immigration, a burning social issue affecting a number of European countries today ".
