Director’s Quote:
It is her character, her personality that deserves attention. It is where the seduction lies, certainly for the « filmmaker. » She emblematizes, to the letter, the state of Arab societies. Whether regarding the status of women or the rise of religious extremism, she has accompanied, since the years of her glory, the astounding decline we have all been enduring.
