Radia - راضية
78 minutes | Morocco | 2025
Synopsis
Radia is the story of a woman who frees herself from her shackles under the pretext of a journey without destination. A second breath, a rebirth, and proof that one can continue to live and relive until the very end. The beautiful black and white cinematography of the film perfectly highlights the intimacy of her character, her feelings, her imagination, all the small details of a normal life. For the director, the goal of her film is to go beyond the narration of acts or events.
Directed by Khaoula Benomar Assebab
