In the hollow of the valley of the Moroccan anti-Atlas, it is cultivated by the Berbers of Souss, according to the requirements of perfection commanded by divine law from the Hebrews for the prayer of the Feast of Soukkot (the Feast of Huts). The film "The Route of Citron" (Etrog) sets out in search of this sacred fruit, the original authenticity of which has been maintained for centuries by Jewish scholars around the world and the peasants of the Doumder.
