Les lessiveuses streaming

2010 Movie Documentary 45 min
By: Yamina Zoutat

Gestures meticulously repeated a thousand times over. Feminine hands washing, sorting out, ironing and folding. Mothers laundering their imprisoned sons' clothing. A way of literally keeping in touch with the absent body. A way of talking to him, through his belongings. A sober, rigorously planned film on unconditional love. Beyond the prison bars.
