The film is based on a Andalusian folk tale "La fille au basilic". The Arabic expression keid ensa means "the cleverness of women" and also appears in a Federico GarcÌa Lorca play.Generations of women have told this story to their daughters. I also heard it as a little girl. In this film the world of the imagination offers women a plethora of possiblities which are usually suppressed by the traditions of a male-dominated society.
