Driss’ friends warn him, but the handsome young man insists on trying to strike a friendship with Fouad, the hermetic middle-aged owner of a run-down beach cafe. Fouad ends up questioning Driss’ manhood, accusing him of being too eager to please. Driss soon becomes caught up in contradictions and rumors as complex and mysterious as the seductive sights and sounds of Paul Bowles’ vision of Morocco.
