The Campaign

For the first time in Morocco, this film tells a realistic and emotional story of a mentally disabled person, Anas, who have lived very hard times and multiple fears since his birth, he simply lived a life where everything is '' impossible ''. This impossibility resulted in his suffering since the day the doctor announced his inability to live like others and do the same things as the rest of us to his parents. The concept of this film is breaking all these ideas that we have about mental illness and shows us that with love, special care and attention and commitment, these people with disabilities can live, work, overcome all challenges and ensure an early and lasting integration into society.

Creative Execution

For the very first time in Morocco that this subject is highlighted in a naturalistic movie where emotions are important, that pushed us to avoid all narrative artifices and aim to the essential, to simplicity. The film is to some extent shocking without falling into pathos to highlight the message of hope. This film is about life, and life is a succession of good and bad moments, hence the need to create a balance between the dramatic scenes and lighter scenes, and especially to suggest to the spectators rather than demonstrate using silence to convey the emotions.
