"Jmiaa, prostituee de Casablanca, vit seule avec sa fille. Femme au fort caractere et a l'esprit vif, elle n'a pas la langue dans sa poche pour dâecrire le monde qui l'entoure : son amoureux Chaèiba, brute âepaisse et sans parole, ou Halima, sa comparse depressive qui lit le Coran entre deux clients, ou encore Mouy, sa mere a la moralite implacable qui semble tout ignorer de l'activite de sa fille. Mais voici qu'arrive une jeune femme, Chadlia, dite 'Bouche de cheval', qui veut realiser son premier film sur la vie de ce quartier de Casa. Elle cherche une actrice.... Meryem Alaoui nous offre une peinture haute en couleur de la vie quotidienne dans un Maroc populaire ou chacun fait face aux difficultâes a force de vitalite et de debrouillardise."--Page 4 of cover.
