Short line:

One of the most interesting if not the best Moroccan documentary film ever made. Hakim Belabbes offers in his film, pieces of a human adventure. Moments from the author’s family life, from his gaze on his immediate and distant environment. It is also a touching reflection on life and death, failure and success, and on dignity and a sense of honor.
“In Pieces”, a fragmented autobiographical cinematic essay about family, life, death and the rites of passage that binds us.
