In the 15th century, experiencing pleasure was important for a good Muslim. Proof of this is The Perfumed Garden, Sheikh Nefzaoui's erotic manual, offers about sixty tasty names to describe the sex of a man. Today, the word is part of the forbidden domain. In Algeria, Morocco and France, the director goes to meet men and women, boys and girls, from different generations, who evoke, each through their own story, desire, sexuality, seduction. A highlighting of the gap that exists between an extraordinarily fertile imagination (tales, poetry..., etc.) and a terribly frustrating reality. Algeria/France (2000) Directed by Yamina Benguigui.
