Part of the MOROCCO, BODY AND SOUL series of half hour films which present various musical genres being performed in the environments which fostered them, all the while giving viewers a window into the diverse components which comprise Moroccan society.

In the Middle Atlas, near Kenifra, the Zayane and Ichker tribes get together to perform the mythical nuptials of "Asliand Taslit," the fiancé and the fiancée. As living symbols of the forces of the vegetation, they embody the hopes for abundance and fertility, sung and danced by the community during the ceremony, in front of the huge Berber tents.
