Through the gates of Essaouira rushes "the wind of Mogador". Essaouira – Mogador, on the Moroccan coast, is a place of memories. Between the two names of this town, there is a time marked by the departure of the Jews to the Promised Land in the fifties. This exodus put an end to their secular cohabitation with the Moslìms.
The Israeli writer, Ami Bouganim, rediscovers his town of birth after fifty-five years. As a child at Mogador, the wind brought him news of the world.
As an adult, he is carried back on the wings of the wind to the source of his writing. He lands at Essaouira and meets those who are working for the future of their town. They are only too happy to renew the bond forget by memory. "You're like a brother. Welcome" the seagull-man says to Ami Bouganim.
