Poison Ivy (La Môme vert-de-gris)

Soft music

Disturbing music

Suspense music

Casablanca,

the largest port from the African continent,

a city in full expansion,

a teeming city of activity, of noise,

a city where, as in everything big port, it can happen

anything.

It's already past midnight.

In the medina, the natives are preparing to return.

Europeans should do well do the same.

But sleep is not given to everyone.

Here as elsewhere, there are always those

who do not want to close their eyes for one reason or another.

Knowing which one is often quite a story.
