Beneath a Mother's Feet

Inspired by true events, Beneath a Mother's Feet tells the story of Wedad, a single mother in Morocco, who finds herself at a difficult juncture in her life. Weaving cinema verité with surrealism, we observe Wedad's internal struggle as she faces an unthinkable decision: to walk away from her life and her children's futures.
