Abstract

Everything separates Jmiaa and Chadlia. One is a prostitute in the rough area of Casablanca, the
other is a filmmaker emigrated to Holland. One really knows only the neighborhood where she raises her
djellaba several times a day to earn a living, the other has the stature of a woman of the world: traveler and
living of her art. However, at random encounters, these two women, at opposite ends of each other, become
a pole with two heads in the work of uncovering of the truth : those of marginalized persons that power and
society work to hide. Jmiaa comes with her life's experience and that painful experience that she shares
without restraint, without mood and with a lot of humor. As for Chadlia, she brings her know-how and skills
that lift Jmiaa from the sidewalk to the screen: an unexpected reputation! A majesticvisibilitymarked by
feminism and nourished by sorority
