Cahiers du Cinéma (Vincent Malausa) : "Leïla Kilani fonce tête baissée dans une sorte de chaos vital d'où peu de films reviendraient indemnes. Que "Sur la planche" produise un geste d'un tel éclat et d'une telle radicalité à l'heure des grands changements que l'on sait en fait assurément un des films-étalons – au sens le plus sauvage du terme – du jeune cinéma arabe"

Synopsis
The "board" of the title is multifold: springboard, diving board or pirate plank. This is the story of an imperiled "brotherhood," the story of a foursome. The story of four girls on the run, made of love, choices, shattered destinies.They are the protagonists of a film noir under the conflicting auspices of the dream of globalization.
Among the countless women peeling shrimp in a factory in Tangiers, two young Moroccan women repeat incessantly the same gestures. Badia and Imane dream of a better life. If only they could find jobs in the textile factories located in the free zone… Rage and desire for escape go hand-in-hand in this poignant and relentless film served up by two splendid actresses.
