What happens
Islamour est un film marocain réalisé par Saâd Chraïbi, sorti en au Maroc. Une famille maroco–américaine, ayant vécu 25 ans aux États-Unis, est obligée de les quitter après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001. Le retour au pays pose le problème du regard de l'Occident sur la culture arabo-musulmane et d'un conflit familial qui oppose modernité et traditions, à partir des positions de deux générations qui oscillent entre solidarité et éclatement.
