In Morocco, sex outside marriage is illegal and the children of single mothers are outcasts. This documentary follows mother Rabha El Haimer as she begins a long and painful battle through the courts to legalise her forced marriage and to compel the father to accept his daughter. In and out of the courtroom, Rabha is subject to verbal abuse and intimidation but the mother is resolute, determined that she and the child should be granted the same human rights as everyone else.
