Programme Information

In the early 70s a young English mother of two arrives in Morocco in search of meaning and adventure, accompanied by her two daughters, aged six and eight. Seen through the girls' eyes, the trip is full of glorious life and colour, but it is also beset by confusion, a worrying shortage of money and the group's discovery that their new-found freedom comes at a price.
