Ποιος από εμάς δεν έχει γοητευτεί ποτέ από την Καζαμπλάνκα, τη διάσημη ταινία που σκηνοθέτησε ο Μάικλ Κέρτις το 1942; Ποιος από εμάς δεν έχει γοητευτεί από τους χαρισματικούς ρόλους του Humphrey Bogart και της Ingrid Bergman; Αν αυτή η ταινία είναι κοντά στα 80 χρόνια, η μαροκινή πόλη που χρησιμοποιήθηκε για το σκηνικό της κρατούσε πάντα την αλχημεία της στους κατοίκους και τους επισκέπτες της. Ο συναισθηματικός αντίκτυπος αυτής της πόλης παραμένει ανέγγιχτος.
