Enjoy a conversation with ADAM director Maryam Touzani and filmmaker Hany Abu Assad courtesy of Strand Releasing.

Adam resonates through this profound depiction of female solidarity, opening up a necessary dialogue about women in oppressive societies with compelling grace and heartfelt empathy.” – Awards Daily

Abla runs a modest local bakery from her home in Casablanca where she lives alone with her 8-year-old daughter Warda. Their routine of housework and homework is interrupted one day by a knock on the door. It is Samia, a young woman looking for a job and a roof over her head. The little girl is immediately taken with the newcomer, but her mother initially refuses to allow a pregnant stranger into their home. Gradually, however, Abla’s resolve softens and Samia’s arrival begins to offer all of them the prospect of a new life. In Arabic with English subtitles. Not Rated. Director: Maryam Touzani (Morocco/France 2019) 98 min.
