Fatwa

Directed by Mohamed El Badaoui

Nadia is a documentary filmmaker based in Andalusia. Of Spanish and Moroccan heritage, she embarks on a trip to volunteer in Morocco after undergoing a personal crisis. Upon arriving at the Red Moon headquarters, she encounters a group of volunteers from various countries and travels with a caravan to a remote, conservative village in Morocco, where nothing ever seems to happen and the marriage of young Batool and Bashir is the event of the year. The caravan arrives, intent on providing a space to offer sex education, which Nadia leads. The presence of the caravan interrupts the villagers’ routine and divides them into two camps, leading to a confrontation and putting the long-awaited wedding at risk. In parallel, Nadia is on her own journey, getting closer to her origins and starting to believe in love again thanks to Khaled, a teacher who has just arrived in the village.
