Death for sale (Mort à Vendre) is a movie that inspires its characters from under the surface reality of Morocco. The movie is shot in Tetouan and it revolves around three inseparable friends.
Malik, Allal, and Soufiane are young friends that hold their hands to face the unbearable situation they are living. They decide to change their miserable condition through one shot by heisting a
spanish jeweler though each has his own motivation. Malik wants
to save his beloved prostitute; Allal needs money to start his own
drug business, whereas Soufiane wants to revenge the jeweler.
Driven by love, greediness, or belief, the three unlucky friends are betrayed by their own dreams from one side and by society from
the other.

Bensaidi succeeds to draw a vivid picture of a segment of people.
Although they seem delinquent, yet they aspire for better life. The
movie’s characters are trapped in their marginalized situation, but
they manage to create their own world even if it costs them their
life. Through those characters, we tend to have a close image of
people on the edge and how good people that love and dream for
better life turn into criminals overnight.
