Asmahane

“Asmahane” recounts the story of a Lebanese girl who fled her country after losing her family to war, to become a belly dancer in Morocco, fitting in seamlessly into the north African country’s culture. The events take place in a scary Casablanca, where the main character, a Christian Lebanese woman, forges connections with Moroccans on her way to look for a better life.
