Starring Brigitte Mira and El Hedi ben Salem, the film won the FIPRESCI (International Federation of Film Critics) award and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the 1974 Cannes Film Fest.
The powerful tale centers on the romance between Emmi, an elderly German woman and Ali, a Moroccan migrant worker in post-World War II Germany.
