Moroccan comedian Mohamed Basso launched his new film “Zaazou”, which represents an important addition to his artistic career, as it is distinguished by a combination of comedy and social orientation. This work is considered one of the most notable Moroccan films released by the end of the year, and it presents a combination of humor and social drama.
The film focuses on figures in Moroccan society, particularly in the town of Zagora, and addresses themes linked to “witchcraft” and the “discovery of treasures”. It also deals with the case of the child Naima, who attracted public attention, following the trip of two friends from the “Tamakrot” region to Zagora with the aim of improving their living conditions, where they are confronted to situations that combine humor and excitement.
In addition to the social orientation, Basso highlights issues such as poverty, unemployment and daily problems that affect the lives of Moroccan citizens, using comedy to alleviate these topics, allowing the audience to contemplate and reflect .
The film also reflects social messages of interest to the inhabitants of southeastern Morocco and contributes to the promotion of the cultural and geographical heritage of the city of Zagora and its surroundings.
The film was written and directed by Mohamed Basu and Rabih Chajid and stars a group of elite Moroccan artists, including Abdel Rahim Al-Minyari, Karima Ghaith, Osama Ramzi, Abdallah Dedan and Souad Hassan.
