« From the blooming feminity of young girls,to the solidarity of a social class cracked by a creeping generation
conflict, Kadija Leclere reveals herself in the art of outlining and roundness, helped by the magnetism of her
actresses.. » Nouvel Obs (Guillaume Loison)
« Kadija Leclere is inspired by her own life while realistically depicting Morocco.. Her movie is to the point especially
thanks to the excellent actors..” Le Canard Enchainé ( David Fontaine )
“The director Kadija Leclere takes inspiration in her own story to talk about the problems arising from culture shocks
between the East and the West and the women’s place in the North African society. Her movie deals with this delicate subject with intelligence.” Le Parisien ( Hubert Lizé )
