Irrepressible Touda only dreams of one thing: becoming a Sheikha, a respected traditional
Moroccan performer empowered by the lyrics of the fierce female poets. Performing every evening in provincial bars under the lustful gaze of men, she plans to leave her small village for the bright lights of Casablanca where she hopes to be recognised as a true artist and also secure a better future for her and her son. Cannes Première 2024.
