The Damned Don't Cry

Fatima-Zahra and her devoted but defiant son Selim live on the poverty line, hustling for survival. Their close - albeit warped - bond is tested when he discovers a painful truth, setting the duo on a path they can't turn back from. An acutely observed domestic tale of love, identity and belonging, this exceptional film interrogates the strictures of Moroccan society on the disenfranchised.
