Rough Hands

Mustapha, an uneducated barber, makes some extra money as a dealer of false identity documents, all the while looking after his blind mother. A young teacher named Zakia wants to travel to Spain to unite with her fiancé, but the authorities don't approve the journey, as her hands are not rough enough from hard work. Zakia asks Mustapha for help, but her view of her fiancé gradually changes, and the unexpected duo gets closer to each other. The director, Mohamed Asli, realistically depicts social situations and living conditions in contemporary Morocco. (Febiofest)
