There are movies that you come across when you are having a rough time and this was one of them for me.
The concept is very interesting, a man hiding a bag of stolen money created a city and almost a new cult/religion in a Moroccan desert.
The comedy is definitely not obvious and is very subtle.
Some people came in expecting a much faster pace movie, but that wouldn't have done 10% of what this has done.
There are some sub stories that all relate to the main plot, but all share a similar theme of being casted aside to the periphery in a forsaken area that was created by nobody else but the inhabitants.
You don't need to have that much knowledge of the culture or religions to understand the movie.
Netflix provides a decent, but not perfect English translation.
