Hideous Kinky (1998)

With her two young precocious daughters, free-spirited mother Julia flees her stifling life in London for the promise of excitement, freedom and self-discovery in exotic Marrakech. In her single-minded quest for spiritual enlightenment and escapism, Julia falls into a steamy relationship with a handsome street performer. Unfortunately, her selfish determination may actually cause her to lose what she loves most. Incidentally, the title Hideous Kinky is derived from a free-association word game enjoyed by the two young girls. Told from the perspective of the youngest daughter, the story provides insight into the Moroccan atmosphere.
