The Day He Swims Thru Marrakech is the book of the film La controfigura (The Stand-in) by Rä di Martino: the tale of a cinema troupe in Marrakech (Morocco) trying to shoot the remake of The Swimmer, the 1968 movie with Burt Lancaster, based on a short story of the same name by John Cheever. Through backstage photographs and fragments of landscape, the book tells of a city of contrasts, moving through the chromatic spectrum of the light watery blue of luxurious swimming pools and the burnt pink of the desert.
