L'enfant Endormi, is a 2004 Moroccan movie, directed by Yasmine Kassari, and starring Mounia Osfour, Rachida Brakni, Nermine Elhaggar. with a runtime of 95 minutes.
The Sleeping Child is a Moroccan drama set in the contemporary northeast of Morocco, telling the story of Zeinab, a young woman whose husband disappears underground just a day after their wedding. Pregnant and left to wait alone, Zeinab draws on the ancient Moroccan folk belief of the dormant foetus — lulling her unborn child to sleep until its father returns. As time passes without any sign of her husband, the film unfolds as a quietly devastating meditation on waiting, motherhood, and the particular vulnerability of women abandoned by migration and circumstance.
