A documentary short about El Kaoutar — one of the Souss region's largest markets for old car parts and gears — capturing daily life in a space that keeps hundreds of vehicles running while operating without proper lighting or running water.
The brief
El Kaoutar is a sprawling, deeply local market where mechanics, sellers, and buyers meet every day to keep aging vehicles on the road. For years it has operated without basic infrastructure — no reliable lighting, no running water — conditions that shape everyone's daily work there. The brief was simple: document the market honestly, at scale, so the footage could speak for itself.
