- What is The Rif Lover about?
- Aya, a flirtatious 20-year-old who lives in a small village with her mother and two brothers, spends her time catching rays with her best friend Raida and daydreaming of grand romance. Her keen interest in amorous affairs stems from her seeing a video of Bizet’s Carmen, a gift from her cousin. She reveres Carmen’s power of seduction, overlooking the temptress’s ultimate fate. With Aya’s father working abroad as a fisherman, her brothers pursue less lawful employment under a local hashish trafficker named “The Baron.” Hoping to move up in his career, Aya’s oldest brother secretly makes a deal with “The Baron” offering his sister in exchange for his own field of cannabis. Aya, now unexpectedly and unwillingly caught up in her own perilous drama, must address her naive notions of romance. Writer/director Narjiss Nejjar once again tells a sumptuous tale of women boldly confronting patriarchal tradition.
