La Mamounia: il film
A dieci minuti a piedi dalla piazza più rumorosa di Marrakech, dietro mura del XII secolo, il rumore più forte è quello di una fontana. Una giornata alla Mamounia, dalla colazione a bordo piscina all’ultimo bicchiere al Churchill, e la camera da chiedere.
Un film di 67 secondi, fatto con le immagini del luogo.
Che cosa dice la voce
Il film è in inglese, con sottotitoli in inglese.
Winston Churchill chased the light here, from balcony to balcony.
He was painting it. You'll only need one balcony.
This is La Mamounia. Here's which side to ask for.
Some balconies face the Koutoubia minaret. Others face the gardens.
Ask for the gardens. Here's what your balcony gets.
Mornings, birdsong, and two-hundred-year-old olive trees under your balcony.
Breakfast is poolside, at the Pavillon, under the palms.
Late afternoon, the light goes soft. That's your hour to walk the gardens.
Orange trees, palm trees, cactus. And three riads hidden in the middle, each with its own heated pool.
Then the sun drops behind the palms.
This is the light he came for.
After dark, dinner moves to the Lanternes, tents by the pool.
Ask for a garden-side room with a balcony. Come in winter, like he did.
From the airport, it's a ten-minute drive.
Churchill needed every balcony. You'll need one.
