Hicham Lasri
Lasri (Morocco) shot this tragicomedy about a group of wedding-procession artistes in black-and-white
In The Sea is Behind we follow Tarik, a dancer who dresses as a woman for weddings. The story takes place in a nameless Arab country in an unspecified time. The water is contaminated and the characters are at a tipping point in their lives. They can’t go forward but they can’t go back anymore either.
