Wikipedia article'Where Are You Going Mosh?' (French title: 'O vas-tu Mosh?', Arabic title: ' - Fin Mashi Ya Moshe?') is a Moroccan-Canadian film directed by Hassan Benjelloun and released in 2007. Set up in the small town of Boujad, the movie depicts the turmoil created in a small town after the exodus of the Jews of Morocco, especially between the last Jew in town, Shlomo, and the owner of the only bar in the town, Mustapha. The film, although a work of fiction, is shot in the style of a documentary. The plot was largely inspired by an original script by Ahmed Seffar Andaloussi. PlotMustapha is the manager of the only bar in the small town of Boujad, in Morocco. The Islamic authorities in the town are eager to close it because consumption of alcohol is prohibited to the Muslims, but they cannot do anything since the city remains inhabited by a Jewish community. As long as there are customers who are allowed to consume alcohol, Mustapha is free to go on with his business. But when Moroccan Jews are starting to immigrate to the new state of Israel, and as the town is emptied of its Jewish community, Mustapha is terrified about having to close his business. He will attempt the impossible to keep the only remaining Jew in Boujad, Shlomo Bensoussanwhose wife Freha and daughter Rachel moved to Israelfrom leaving the town.
