Discover the film "Under the Fig Trees" by Erige Sehiri.
Fidé, Sana, Melek, Meriem and other women are working on the fig harvest. In the shade of the trees, they talk about love and "mektoub"... A remarkably sensitive film, which describes the strength of women and a changing society as close to reality as possible.
