Plot.

Moroccan filmmaker Narjiss Nejjar makes her feature debut with the drama Cry No More. Former prostitute Mina (Raouia) is released from prison after a 25-year sentence. Bus driver Fahd (Khalid Benchegra) returns her to the isolated Berber village of prostitutes. Because the only men allowed in are customers, Fahd pretends to be Mina's son. Fahd falls for Mina's angry daughter, Hala (Siham Assif), who wants to stop the village curse. Hala has a daughter of her own, Zinba Rafiqua Belhaj, who's about to undergo a traditional loss-of-virginity ritual. As she forms a plan to stop the sex work-cycle, Mina doesn't let Hala know her real identity, although the village elders in the mountain cliffs remember her. Cry No More was shown during the Director's Fortnight at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival.

Wiki.

Les Yeux secs (US title: Cry No More) is a French-Moroccan film directed by Narjiss Nejjar and released in 2003. The critically acclaimed film was selected for the Directors' Fortnight in Cannes, the FIFF, and the Marrakech Film Festival. It won numerous awards, including the Bayard d'Or for Best Screenplay in Namur.Les yeux secs was Nejjar's first feature film. It deals with several subjects, particularly the emancipation of women and the control of men over their destiny. She initially planned on making a documentary about the village in question, but ultimately chose to make a fictional film as she sensed a reluctance on the part of the village's inhabitants.The film, set in the Berber towns of Aghbala and Tizi N'Isly and shot in Tamazight, was a commercial success in France, but faced domestic controversy. The women of Aghbala and Tizi filed a lawsuit against Nejjar for defamation.
