‘Zero’ is a distinguished film which
is written and directed by NourEddineLakhmari. The film tackles serious issues
daringly- prostitution, alcohol, and corruption. It has also received more than
30 several awards inside or outside the country.
‘Zero’ tells the story of a cop, Amine Bartal, who is nicknamed Zero
(YounesBouab), and the conflicts that he encounters within his context. AmineBartal
is corrupted cop that uses a young prostitute (Mimi) to swindle her clients
their money. Bartal’s superior is another corrupt man who protects a big luxury
prostitution network that exploits young girls. Zero is harassed and belittled
by his superior because he refuses to succumb and cooperate with his corrupted
friends.
Zero fancies a doctor; yet this love has no ground in reality and that’s
what he knows clearly. Then, a women looking for her daughter would invoke Zero
to revolt against everything and save her daughter whom he knows that she is
abducted by the prostitution network.
Lakhmari keeps the same critic tune of his previous film ‘Casanegra’,
and ‘zero’ sheds light on another sphere of the society. He also tresses the
fact that corruption contributes to the spread of other issues such us prostitution.
Though the movie is shocking as many
claimed, Lakhmari considers his film as a treatment with
shock.
