On the Edge

Set between a numbing malodorous factory and the demimonde of nocturnal Tangier two streetsmart young women work tirelessly to move on with their lives By day the fasttalking livewire Badia and her quiet friend Imane peel shrimp in a factory by night they hit the seaside hotels turn tricks and steal small objects from their clients to pawn One night they meet two pretty girls their own age who work in the Free Zone of Tangier a heavily guarded Europeanstyle industrial area The determined Badia hates peeling shrimps and sees the two new girlfriends who are slightly better off as a springboard
