Synopsis
This fourth film in the series follows two events that mark the early winter in Mafrouza: the birth of a boy and a young woman's engagement. Within their homes, we glance at the intimate and the holy, cries, whispers and rituals: individuals' destinies are taking shape. Amidst the familial agitation, each finds their own way to live. Through their actions, but also through what they say, the imaginary reflects on reality, make it livable, and speaks of life, death and gender roles.
