Yacout

1999 · 90 min

Moulay Driss, a cultured and quick-witted man, silently dedicates an unlimited love to his cousin, the beautiful Yacout. He is forbidden to confess his love for fear of displeasing him because of his hunchback and his one-eyed eye. As Moulay Driss can not even hope to seduce Yacout, he decides to help Moulay Ali, his best friend, to conquer her. Moulay Driss begins writing fiery letters to Yacout on behalf of Ali. At times, hidden behind a tree, he recites them himself to a subjugated Yacut. Yacout, who really falls in love with Moulay Driss's words, believes he loves Moulay Ali.
