A forbidden look inside an extended Moroccan family.

synopsis

Bletzi Bletzi (Moroccan for 'Wait, Wait') takes us into the impenetrable world of a Moroccan family. Built up in sequences which each broach another aspect of this culture (such as Religion, Men and Women's worlds, Marriage, Corruption, Moroccans and foreigners, emigration,...), Bletzi Bletzi... doesn't want to be a pure description of a foreign culture, but rather create a confrontation and an investigation of the borders between the Arabic and the Western world. Through conversations and interviews, light is shed on the underlying structures of their lifestyle. Each of the different sequences is carried by one of the characters, who in their turn can be present in other sequences. Moroccan/Arabic culture is very often associated with concepts such as fundamentalism, problems of migration and oppression of women. Bletzi Bletzi... wants to break up these stereotypes from within.
Bletzi Bletzi (Mot marocain pour “attends, attends”) nous entraîne dans le monde impénétrable d’une famille marocaine. Construit avec des séquences dans lesquelles un nouvel aspect de cette culture est abordé (comme par exemple la religion, le monde des hommes et celui des femmes, le mariage, la corruption, les marocains et les étrangers, l’émigration), Bletzi Bletzi ne veut pas être une pure description d’une culture étrangère, mais plutôt créer une confrontation et une investigation sur les barrières entre le monde arabe et l’Occident. A travers des conversations et interviews, les structures sous-jacentes de leur mode de vie sont mises en lumière. Chacune des différentes séquences se rapporte à l’un des personnages, qui à son tour peut être présent dans d’autres séquences. La culture marocaine/arabe est très souvent associée à des concepts tels que le fondamentalisme, le problème de migration et l’oppression des femmes. Bletzi Bletzi veut démonter ces stéréotypes de l’intérieur.
