We follow the director's camera into the kitchens and living rooms of a community of Moroccan women. inside the walls of their apartment in Casablanca's old Medina, the women cook, clean, take care of their families and help each other.

"Thirty years after the revolution which caused the departure of many Iranians, including of my family to France, I returned to Iran for a trip across the country, where, through my meetings with the women who remained there, I wished to capture the complexity of the arrangements of this people with the daily reality of their country.
