Touda lives for music. Her dream is to be recognized as a chanteuse – a traditional Moroccan folk singer – and she hopes not only to fulfill that dream, but also to give her nine-year-old mute son, Yassine, a better life. The two communicate using sign language.

A musical drama rich in folk music and Moroccan songs, this is a story of female empowerment, told through an emotional portrait of women’s status in contemporary Moroccan society.
