Movie description:
DVD vom Fernsehen With her seven year-old son, Mehdi, Amina moves in with her father-in-law, Ahmed, in a village in the heart of the Atlas Mountains. Mehdi’s father is in prison but the boy believes that he has gone to work in France: his mother and grandfather maintain this illusion for his sake. At school, Mehdi has the privileged task of looking after the teacher’s chair. His relationship with the village, his friends and the world revolves around this object.

»Mille Mois« explores a little-known aspect of Maroccan history. Mehdi, a 7-year-old boy, and his mother, Amina, move in with Amina’s father, Ahmed. The adults tell Mehdi that his father has gone to work in France: he is actually in prison. Mehdi is given the privilege at school of being promoted monitor, a role he takes very seriously and his jealous classmates turn against him. As if that were not enough, life in their village is getting tougher by the day: a severe drought is killing the crops.
