DESCRIPTION:At the border between Morocco and Spain\, near Melilla\, the li
	ves of three people\nbecome intertwined. Félicité\, a young migrant from C
	ameroon\, returns to Tangier\nafter the tragic death of her friend\, deter
	mined to earn enough money to give\nher a Christian burial. Hamid\, a recr
	uiter who makes a living exploiting migrant\nworkers\, sees his own carefu
	lly constructed world begin to fall apart.\nMeanwhile\, Kenza\, a wealthy 
	young mother\, hires Félicité as a nanny against her\nhusband’s wishes\, s
	etting off tensions within her marriage.\n\nThrough these three interconne
	cted stories\, Fennane portrays a Morocco shaped by\nmigration\, economic 
	inequality and social divisions. Rather than reducing\nmigration to a stor
	y of borders and displacement\, The Ants follows the people\ncaught within
	 these systems: their ambitions\, compromises\, prejudices and\nattempts t
	o find a way forward.\n\nWith a restrained\, socially grounded approach\, 
	Fennane brings together three\nvery different perspectives on contemporary
	 Morocco. The result is a film about\nmigration and inequality\, but also 
	about dignity\, human connection and the\npossibility of starting over.
