Synopsis
The title of this film is a direct allusion to the taboo - in Arab countries - of women hairs, which should be hidden, so that all the musicians who participated in the film refuse to wear the veil. This title is an allusion to the erotic of the hairs. This film is, in fact, a manifesto with several Arab disobedient women, singers, musicians and composers, originating of Mashreq and Maghreb. In contradiction with the assumed context of the current distrust vis-à-vis these cultures, the film wants to show the assertion force of these women, who struggle with determination to impose their talent, their art, their social commitment and their femininity without veil. It also aims to show how their creative force is based on new attitudes, but also on the power and the beauty of ancient poetry which reflect the great diversity of these worlds.
