Abouna

15-year-old Tahir and 8-year-old Amine wake up one morning to learn that their father has left home. The brothers decide to find him and wander through the city. Deeply disturbed by this sudden disappearance, they begin to hang about, play hooky, and go to the movies, where, one day, they think they recognize their father on the screen. They manage to steal the reels and look for his face on the film, but the police arrest them. Weary of their antics, their mother sends them far away to study in a religious school, a place they do not like from the very beginning. (Viennale)
