Kung Fu Zohra
Synopsis
Zohra cannot leave a violent relationship as she is frightened of being separated from her daughter. She takes the blows in silence, even though it becomes increasingly difficult to resist and hide the truth. But everything changes when she meets Chang Sue, a maestro of Kung-Fu, who is determined to make her his disciple. Between reality, comedy and a parody of martial arts films, the film tells the story of domestic violence and female empowerment of a young Moroccan woman in Paris.
