Everybody Loves Touda

Touda only dreams of one thing: being a Sheikha, a traditional Moroccan performer. She belts out songs about resistance, love and emancipation, passed down from generation to generation. Every evening, she performs in bars under the gaze of men in her tiny village while hoping for a better future for her and her son. Disrespected and shamed, she sets her sights on leaving for the bright lights of Casablanca... Through Touda’s journey, Nabil Ayouch reveals the power of these women, paired with their vulnerability. Violence and humiliation do not mar his character’s quest. Everywhere, all the time, men around her, even her family, are threatening. The only exception is an old violinist met in Casablanca, who will help her on her artistic quest. Screening as part of French Film Festival UK.
