| Summary |
Othman, a handsome young Moroccan man in Casablanca, returns home to discover his elderly French wife, Sofia, brutally murdered in their bedroom. Othman had been in desperate straits before meeting Sofia, but living with a woman more than forty years his senior caused him to seek relief in a steamy affair. Now the Moroccan police quickly zero in on Othman as the prime suspect in his wife's murder. Did he kill her for the money and his lover, or is he an innocent man framed by circumstance and an overzealous police force? |
