Overview

Burning Casablanca (Zanka Contact) is a Moroccan drama-romance that ignites when a car crash throws together Larsen, a washed-up rock musician, and Rajae, a streetwise woman with a voice like liquid gold. Their shared trauma and love of rock 'n' roll form an unlikely bond in the heart of a hellish Casablanca underworld — a world of sadistic cops, venomous snakes, metal concerts, and a music-obsessed pimp who controls Rajae's life. As Larsen's drug-induced visions blur his grip on reality, the couple's only hope lies in escaping the city — and finishing the song they have been writing together, Zanka Contact.
