But at the end of the day, Saïd discovers her terrible secret.

About the Director:

Omar Mouldouira was born in Paris in 1973. He studied at “La FEMIS”, where he received his diploma in sound engineering in 1999. He worked on several soundtracks for short films, feature films and documentaries, but his attraction to writing and directing finally pushed him to direct “Moratorium” a short film which won a prize at the Contis Festival and was selected for the festival “Images of Morocco” at the Arab World Institute of Paris. He participated in numerous writing workshops (the SACEM summer school studies program at the Moulin d’Andé, and Robert Mc Kee’s STORY Master Class) until he began lecturing in screenwriting at the EICAR film school in Cherbourg.
