Israel2016documentary90'Opowieści ze świata (2017)

This is a story about lost childhood. Its characters are older women from Yemen and Morocco who, when they were a few years old, were forced to marry much older men. They remember sexual violence, premature pregnancies and the motherhood which encumbered them when they still should have been playing with other children. The protagonists, whose tragedies for years were accepted by their communities which, at the same time, remained silent about them, have finally regained their voice.
