Deserts

In their wrinkled suits and ties, two petty crooks, Mehdi and Hamid, drive around southern Morocco in their car. Their mission: to recover a backlog of loans for their agency that have not been repaid by villagers overwhelmed by poverty and drought. Here comedy meets road movie and the film even veers into western territory when the two jaded mercenaries, under pressure themselves, cross paths with a highwayman.
