Sinekatalog’s take
A Moroccan drama about a young wife whose husband leaves for Europe the day after their wedding, leaving her pregnant and waiting. Yasmine Kassari mixes tradition with a quiet, feminine perspective on absence. Rewarding for those who like slow, humane world cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
