Maryam Touzani

In the medina of Casablanca, the single mother Abla runs a little bakery. From her window she sells traditional bread and pastry. When a young pregnant woman in search of a place to sleep turns up on her doorstep, Abla reluctantly takes her in and only for a few days. For she too has to be careful, as a woman without a husband, not to fall into disgrace with her neighbours. A story of solidarity between two woman and a girl in a patriarchal society.

Zwei Frauen sitzen drinnen; die eine in Gelb dehnt nachdenklich weißen Teig zwischen ihren Händen, während die andere, schwarz gekleidet, sich darauf konzentriert, Tee aus einer metallischen Teekanne auszugießen. Die Umgebung wirkt traditionell und intim.
