Plot

A young Danish guy, Nils, is visiting Morocco, where he meets the 16-year-old Berber girl Leïla. It marks the beginning of a great, all-encompassing passion. Leïla must defy her family to be with Nils, and their love has big consequences.[2]

Cast

Reception

The film was met with very negative reviews and was a box office bomb.[3][4][5][6] Swedish film critic Gunnar Rehlin [sv] in Variety wrote "Pic feels tepid and devoid of emotional involvement. Due to the use of v.o., the two leads never get a real chance to convey their characters' emotions."[7]
