The show opens with an introduction of Meryem Zaïmi and Fatima Ezzahra El Jaouhari, who are set to appear in a new series titled "Aich Tmaa." They confirm that the series will be broadcast during Ramadan at 7:30 PM on Al Aoula. The director of the series is Ayoub El Henoud, and the screenplay is by Jawad El Helou and Basma El Hajri.
The guests read a synopsis of "Aich Tmaa," revealing a complex and profound human story that explores the sensitive topic of newborn trafficking. The plot centers on Hanan, who infiltrates a feminine gang responsible for this trade by assuming a new identity as Maria, a midwife. She aims to dismantle the system from within, but soon discovers the vast and almost untouchable network behind it. The story delves into the psychological and social impacts of this phenomenon.
Fatima Ezzahra EL Jaouhari discusses her character, Aouatif, a hairdresser who acts as the public relations person for the gang, finding expectant mothers and connecting them with adoptive parents through an orphanage worked by another character, Bouchra. Saadia Ladib is the boss of this network. The series explores how these characters justify their actions, highlighting the psychological impact of their involvement in such a dark trade.
The actresses emphasize the positive and collaborative environment during the filming of "Aich Tmaa." They praise the professionalism and mutual support among the cast and crew, highlighting the lack of small-minded conflicts and the shared goal of creating a high-quality production. They share anecdotes about their interactions, likening their bond to that of cousins.
The conversation shifts to the broader landscape of Moroccan television, particularly during Ramadan. The actresses anticipate criticism, especially regarding the prevalence of the same faces in different productions. They argue that this is partly due to the increased number of productions and the desire for successful actors, while acknowledging the challenge it poses for viewers. They also touch upon the difficulty of distinguishing between individual error and production issues in Moroccan series.
Meryem and Fatima discuss the lack of variety in acting roles and the difficult conditions for actors in Morocco, particularly given the limited number of media outlets. They express hope for further development in the Moroccan film and television industry, encouraging local talent and avoiding comparisons with foreign productions. They stress the importance of supporting Moroccan artists to avoid discouragement and ensure the industry's continued growth.
The discussion closes on the unique atmosphere of Ramadan in Morocco, reflecting on family gatherings, traditional meals, and the spiritual aspect of the holy month. They criticize the unfortunate trend of price increases during Ramadan, deeming it inappropriate given the spirit of generosity. They highlight the paradox of some individuals feigning piety or struggling with the sacrifices of fasting while others are genuinely committed.
