Director’s background
Ahmed El Maanouni is a key figure in Moroccan cinema, known for films like Alyam Alyam (1978) and Transes (1981), the latter a musical documentary about the group Nass El Ghiwane. His work often explores social and cultural themes with a poetic approach. Al-Sarab—whose title means "the mirage" in Arabic—may follow this style, though the Filmoteca does not provide a synopsis or details about the plot or production year.
