Abla runs a modest local bakery from her home in Casablanca where she lives alone with her 8-year-old daughter Warda. Their routine of housework and homework is interrupted one day by a knock on the door. It is Samia, a young woman looking for a job and a roof over her head. The little girl is immediately taken with the newcomer, but her mother initially refuses to allow a pregnant stranger into their home. Gradually, however, Abla's resolve softens and Samia's arrival begins to offer all of them the prospect of a new life.

Good movie but grossly overrated
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
