Morocco, 2011. On a feverish night, a child perceives a ghost, a woman who has come from the sea, coming home after a long political exile. A silent tale, a bodyless voice and visions mingle in the dark of the night and the fever. The child of the present and the political refugee are now one, travelling together to a strange building haunted by lost memories. History of decolonization and forgotten political fights appear and disappear. But a new struggle, the Arab Spring of Morocco, floods the past.

Rare and unique cinematic observation by artist and award winning
filmmaker Natasha De Betak; She has been filming a Holy man Nagnath
Baba since last five years who has been on a hunger strike to save the
sacred river Ganga. Year after year, his body crumbles. He is haunted
by both dreams and nightmares. His sacred existence takes surreal
shape. Life continues to flow around his body; temple, prayers,
rituals… Then one day his hunger strike reaches climax and he dies.
Expressionism and poetry meet to create a sublime journey of an
unusual soul.

The section "Cinéma in Transgression" offers middle or feature lengh films out of norm and order, between fiction and documentary, characterised by complex audio-visual languages, unpredictable associations based on unconcient, metaphorical and metonymical proceedings. In this way these films can express the complexity of reality.
