My younger brother Mustapha disappeared for almost two years, cutting all contacts with us, his family. But one evening, my mother received a phone call from him, telling her that he had settled down in the Madrasa Nahlia, a religious school in the mountains, 90 Km from Marrakesh. I and my mother travelled to meet him up there.

My brother Mustapha disappeared for almost one year. He cut any contact with us, his family.
We lived then in fear and distress. One evening, after his long absence, my mother received a phone call. He had settled down in the Madrasa Nahlia, a koranic school of religious teaching in the mountains, 90 km from Marrakesh. We went to meet him, my mother and I.
Through a monologue in the form of a letter that I wrote to my brother I will tell our story, evoking his absence whilst capturing childhood memories.
I will observe his current life and tell the simplicity, austerity and serenity of the Madrasa Nahlia.
