Overview
Set in the lush Rif mountains of northern Morocco, As They Say spans the length of a weekend camping trip where a father and his son hike in a forest to fish in a beautiful lake. The son is a hip twenty-five year old who wants to use the intimate meditative getaway with his father to reveal his secret. The father, a former soldier, is a conservative sixty-year old who does not suspect his son’s secret. The revelation will shatter their relationship.
