Wiki.
Les Yeux secs (US title: Cry No More) is a French-Moroccan film directed by Narjiss Nejjar and released in 2003. The critically acclaimed film was selected for the Directors' Fortnight in Cannes, the FIFF, and the Marrakech Film Festival. It won numerous awards, including the Bayard d'Or for Best Screenplay in Namur.
Les yeux secs was Nejjar's first feature film. It deals with several subjects, particularly the emancipation of women and the control of men over their destiny. She initially planned on making a documentary about the village in question, but ultimately chose to make a fictional film as she sensed a reluctance on the part of the village's inhabitants.
The film, set in the Berber towns of Aghbala and Tizi N'Isly and shot in Tamazight, was a commercial success in , but faced domestic controversy. The women of Aghbala and Tizi filed a lawsuit against Nejjar for defamation.
