Youm ou Lila (English: A Day and a Night, French: Une journée et une nuit) is a comedy-drama film directed by Naoufel Berraoui[1] [2] [3] and released in October 2013.[4] [5]
The film tells the story of Izza, a mother from the Souss countryside, and the difficulties she faces in caring for her seriously ill daughter. Every month, her husband Hussein sends a parcel to his family containing medicine for his daughter. When he once forgets to do so, endangering the life of his child, Izza - who has never left her native countryside - decides to make a long journey to Casablanca in search of her husband. She meets Aziza, a prostitute who will help her. The journey will last one day and one night, hence the title of the film.[6] [7] [8]
