The first part is like a postcard from a realm almost too surreal to be true, a study of daily life in the demilitarised zone between North and South Korea flecked with such unusual details that not all of them can be real. The second part manipulates time, a wordless portrait of clay vessels being produced in Morocco that slows down and speeds up without warning, imbuing unspectacular actions with detachment and wonder. The third part distorts space, a hand camera tour that moves through apparently connected locations as if carrying out a single movement, although these industrial facilities, cityscapes, meadows and exhibition spaces are not side by side but scattered across the globe.

In February 2016 and after journeying through the outskirts of Marrakech’s various townships renown for their various handmade crafts – Tamasloht, Ourika, Dumnass, Asni, he produces his third known film project. 'Unknown Soldier' unfolds as a sequence of almost holy, nativity scenes, like paintings, in a slow motion of hands, clay, pots, fossils, mounds of fruits and vegetables, etc. These images feel like sensual odes to the makers of crafts, those who have found serenity and equilibrium with their surroundings.”

A portrait of the last days of high school. Two friends spend all day long together, but this will inevitably come to an end. A beautiful sincere story of mixed emotions and secrets that dare not speak loud.
