Chikha

FATINE, a young girl of 17, lives with her mother, NADIA – who is a chikha(1)¬ - in Azemmour, Morrocco. She has just passed her baccalaureate exams and she’s torn between two opposing paths: either committing to the family’s artistic tradition, or a more risk-averse life with her boyfriend, who scorn her heritage.



(1) singer and dancer of ‘Aïta’, popular Moroccan music.
