A classic car belonging to the boss of the local mafia goes missing from the garage of a mechanic called Kwika who had taken it in to do some repairs. kwika thus finds himself in a dangerous predicament with the boss who asks him to pay for the full value of the car within the month. kwika has no choice, he has to find the money but unfortunately has no way of doing so and has already suffered several threats and beatings by Kiama.With time passing quickly, he decides on the spur of the moment to sell one of his kidneys to a family with a sick child called Ismail, on one condition, that he has the operation in Singapore. kwika and Ismail leave for Singapore but first of all they touch down in Cambodia where they leave the airport and have all their belongings stolen. They are thus in a tragi-comic situation in Cambodia where they have to find a way of organising the operation as well as getting back home to Morocco.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
