Drama Abla runs a modest local bakery from her home in Casablanca where she lives alone with her 8-year-old daughter, Warda. When Samia, a young pregnant woman knocks on their door, Abla is far from imagining that her life will change forever. A random encounter of fate, two women on the run, and an essential journey.

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A deceptively slender story marks an accomplished debut from Maryan Touzani"	POS
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Poignant and involving (...) Not a terribly original theme, but here it is made heartrending by the superb performances of Lubna Azabal and Nisrin Erradi in the lead roles."	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"A beautifully made, character-driven little gem that knows when and how to touch all the right buttons (...) [It] is neither too sweet nor too heavy"	POS
	Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"[An] exquisite debut film (...) What is remarkable is how Touzani never lets the societal themes feel heavy, maintaining a light, affectionate tone throughout."	POS
United States	Barbara Scharres rogerebert.com	"An affecting but modest film with few pretensions, but a claim on primal emotions."	POS
