Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released three years after Morocco's 2014 family code reforms, the film captures a society mid-convulsion — old laws softened, but bedroom politics remained frozen.
Marrakchi previously directed 'Marock,' a 2005 feature that sparked riots for depicting a Muslim-Jewish romance; 'Zwaj El Waqt' is her documentary apology to the country that exiled her.
