Everybody Loves Touda

Touda is a sheikha (traditional singer) who performs in dingy bars to make ends meet. But Touda has a passion. She struggles for her art to be recognized and to ensure a better future for her deaf-and-mute son Yassine.
Touda is een sheikha, zijnde een traditionele Marokkaanse zangeres en danseres. Om de eindjes aan elkaar te knopen treedt ze voorlopig op in provinciale cafés onder de gretige ogen van mannen, al heeft Touda het plan opgevat om naar Casablanca te trekken. Daar wil ze erkend worden als artiest en haar doofstomme zoon en zichzelf van een beter leven verzekeren.
Touda rêve de devenir une Cheikha, une artiste traditionnelle marocaine, qui chante sans pudeur ni censure des textes de résistance, d’amour et d’émancipation, transmis depuis des générations. Se produisant tous les soirs dans les bars de sa petite ville de province sous le regard des hommes, Touda nourrit l’espoir d’un avenir meilleur pour elle et son fils. Maltraitée et humiliée, elle décide de tout quitter pour les lumières de Casablanca…
