The Baronesses

Overview

When 65-year-old Fatima discovers that her husband has been living a double life in Morocco for the past ten years, her world collapses. Furious and determined not to let fate get her way, she decides to pick up where she left off 50 years earlier, when she was to play Hamlet. Together with her best friends Mériem, Romaissa and Inès, three other grandmothers from Molenbeek, these "Baronnes" are about to make a decision that will turn their lives, those of their entourage, their neighborhood and the whole country upside down.

Directed by Nabil Ben Yadir, Mokhtaria Badaoui
