The White Flag

To support their families, women in the Moroccan coastal town of Safi toil in a factory for canning sardines where tough working conditions are only slowly improved by modernization. When Ranya, a young, attractive and educated woman cannot find any other work, she decides to take her mother’s place as a factory worker. But she soon finds herself in a difficult situation when the male supervisor tries to approach her, putting her under pressure. Supported by one female colleague, she dares to face up against the established oppression.
