THE DAMNED DON'T CRY
Directed by FYZAL BOULIFA
BBC Film presents a VIXENS production, coproduced by FRAKAS PRODUCTIONS and KASBAH FILMS
Fatima-Zahra and her teenage son Selim move from place to place, forever trying to outrun the latest scandal she’s caught up in. When Selim discovers the truth about their past, Fatima-Zahra vows to make a fresh start. In Tangier, new opportunities promise the legitimacy they each crave — but not without pushing the volatile mother-son relationship to the breaking point.
