Overview

In hellish Casablanca, a car-crash sets ablaze a burning, passionate love story between has-been rocker Larsen and the streetwise amazon Rajae. An unspoken trauma is their common history; rock n' roll their mutual saviour. Larsen's snakeskin-covered guitar and Rajae's liquid gold voice could be heaven, if only everything from his drug-induced visions to her music-buff pimp didn't get in the way. The only hope for their blooming romance is to skip this ferocious town. Is there a way out of this crazy Moroccan underworld with its menagerie of sadistic cops, venomous snakes, metal concerts and shotgun-wielding modern-day Calamity Janes? For these punk Romeo and Juliet, maybe the answer lies in a song - the one they've been writing and dreaming together : Zanka Contact

Like an old rock cassette tape: it'#39;s flawed, the case is cracked and the label is handwritten, but the songs inside will make you stop what you'#39;re doing and think, '#34;Holy shit, I really love music.'#34; This story of a washed up rock star who meets a sex worker in his native Casablanca isn'#39;t really new in any way, but it reeks of sincerity and the songs will grab you by your ears and make you go, '#34;Holy shit, I really love music.'#34;
