Synopsis

The story takes place in current times, in a small village somewhere between North Africa and the Middle East. The women fetch water from a mountaintop spring in the blazing sun. They’ve done that since the beginning of time. Leila, a young bride, urges the women to launch a love strike: no more cuddling, no more sex until the men run water into the village. –Cannes Film Festival

2/5. A parte la traduzione del titolo, da "La source des femmes" a "La sorgente dell'amore" (...), troppa roba lo prolunga e lo rende strabordante. Sarebbe stato apprezzabile se più contenuto, in senso tematico e temporale.

North African Girl Power story disguised as a charming fable told with humour and the help of wonderful actresses. The film is set in what looks like a Berber village in Morocco but the script actually finds its inspiration in a true story that took place in Turkey.

There was a film with the content in Turkey. Actor was Sener Sen and the actrist was Mujde Ar. This is also applied in a village of Mersin city and Silifke town. The name of the village is Kica in 2008. http://www.haberturk.com/yasam/haber/96102-kadinlar-kocalarini-yatak-odasina-almiyor
