Details
Aligned to the tradition of Mauritanian culture, young Verida’s impending arranged marriage means that she has to start gavage – a ritual of over-eating in order to gain a voluptuous body. Meal after meal, she feels increasingly estranged from her own body and starts to question her willful obedience to such rules.
