"You will take, on the first day of Sukkot, the beautiful fruit of the beautiful tree..." (Leviticus XXIII, 40). This Commandment addressed to the Hebrews concerns, according to the Tradition, the fruit of the citron tree. A mythical fruit in most of the great civilizations, it is for the Jews a symbol of Peace and Harmony. In the deepness of the valley of the Moroccan Anti Atlas, it is cultivated by the Souss Berbers, following the rules of perfection demanded by the Divine Law to the Hebrews. The film "Citron, Fruit of Splendour", goes in search of this sacred fruit whose original authenticity and uninterrupted tradition are certified by the Jewish scholars of the entire world and the peasants of the Doumder.
