ADAM

Samia, a young pregnant woman out of wedlock, has left her village to secretly give birth to Casablanca, with the plan of giving the baby for adoption right away. Desperately knocking on doors, looking for work and help, she encounters Abla, a widowed bakery owner, living her 8-year-old daughter completely withdrawn from the outside world, as young widows are treated as prey by the patriarchal Moroccan society. A tender story of how people who have never met can impact strength and wisdom to one another, even unintentionally. A delicate homage to friendship and solidarity, that tackles aching issues, without wagering on preachy melodrama.
