Much Loved

Noha, Randa, Soukaina and Hlima live off paid love. Pleasure and humiliation alternate. In the middle of the night, a limousine drives through Marrakech. Dressed to the nines and talking excitedly, Noha, Soukaina and Randa are on their way to an exclusive party. The three women are sex workers. They sell their bodies to wealthy Arabs and Europeans, who pick them up in nightclubs, restaurants and during parties. Their daily lives have little in common with the elated party world: they are regularly threatened and disowned by their families. When they meet the young, inexperienced sex worker Hlima, a new, close friendship develops. Something the women cherish above all else. Dignified and emancipated, they defy the society that uses and condemns them.
