Women of Sin

Noufissa Charai / France, Morocco / 2026 / 73 min

In Morocco, sex outside of Marriage is a criminal offense. Branded immoral as a single mother, Karima Nadir has dedicated her life to fighting against Article 490, a law that stigmatizes women, strips them of their rights, and leaves them to fend for themselves. Alongside defending her son and caring for her own mother, she supports women who, like her, are persecuted for public indecency, as well as rape survivors who face punishment themselves. As the country stands on the brink of a historic reform of the Family Code, Karima takes her battle to parliament. This film is a powerful portrait of resistance, courage, compassion, and the violence of the law.
