Time to Woo, A

Synopsis: The local bride fair of the Ait Haddidu people, who live in the Atlas mountains of Morocco, is a gathering to which women flock in search of a husband. For divorcee Fadma it may be a last chance and for young Aisha it is a first public outing and a chance to meet boys. This closely observed portrait of an Islamic community that allows its women unusual freedom of choice.
