Quotes

“A Search For The Lost Power is not a usual film that can be added to the repertoire of the Moroccan cinema just for the sake of accumulation, but it’s a film that proves its distinction from the first scene through addressing a rich topic that is new to the Moroccan cinema and Arab cinema in general…” Mohamed Adel Alboanany - Sawtfes (Arabic)
