Meryem Benm’Barek-Aloïsi / FR, BE, QA, 2018 / 80 min.
It's rare to win a prestigious award for a feature film debut, but it happened to Moroccan filmmaker Meryem Benm’barek at Cannes. She took home the Best Screenplay award in the Un Certain Regard section for her Sofia. Benm’barek directorial debut is an unsentimental tale of a young Moroccan woman who is pregnant and unmarried and is forced to face the consequences. Brave Sofia tries to remain in control of her situation.
