Sara & Fatima
Synopsis
Two women meet at a bus stop in Morocco, on a virtually deserted motorway. One is veiled, the other is not. They are instantly drawn to one another and judge each other. Time passes, but the bus does not arrive. Alone and desperate in the middle of nowhere, they gradually allow their vulnerabilities to show. Caught between friction and sisterhood, Sara and Fatima drop their masks to reveal their inner struggles and unite in the face of the threat looming over them.
