About The Healer:
In the outskirts of khourobga, a mining town exploiting phosphates, a 16-year old teenager, Abdou, helpful and caring, simple and down to earth, is anxious to regain the gift of human dignity through learning how to read and write, his adoptive mother Mbarka, the neighbourhood healer, protects her privileged status with ways that the law of obscurantism allow her. Chaa’yba, a 30-year old guy, uncontrollable and ferociously cynical, is an eccentric pickpocket. Suffering from skin disease, Abdou convinces him to come see Mbarka in order to get treatment for it: that’s how the fate of those three will entangle.
