What a clear-eyed and pitiless film this is...

Compelling by virtue of its insight into the struggles faced by women and impoverished people in other parts of the world, the film is also a sad reminder that those same people are often the ones responsible for drawing attention to those injustices.

This admirably mordant film deserves to travel widely on the festival circuit as well as art houses beyond its Francophone countries of origin.

There is a lot more than what meets the eye initially in Benm'Barek-Aloïsi's film, which slowly and delicately teases out the nuances in the relations between the classes.
