[1][2][3][4] Described as a Wild at Heart-type love story with debts to Quentin Tarantino and Sergio Leone,[5] the film was inspired by El Iraki's emotional journey and recovery after he found himself in the midst of the horrors of the 2015 Bataclan attacks in Paris.
Has-been rockstar Larsen Snake returns to his native Casablanca where he meets Rajae, a street girl with a golden voice.
The two madly fall in love, but their passion is quickly overtaken by their past, and the wild couple takes to the desert to escape their demons.
El Iraki kept many of the cast and crew from his shorts (including actors Said Bey and Mourad Zaoui) on his first feature Zanka Contact, also known under the French release title Burning Casablanca.
Zanka Contact was theatrically released in France on November 3, 2021, under the changed title Burning Casablanca.
