Rotten Strawberry tells the story of three Moroccan female seasonal workers – Aicha, Khadija and Hanane – and the obstacles they face picking strawberries in the Andalusian farmland. Since 2011, Spain and Morocco set up an economic-migratory system through which, every year, thousands of Moroccan women were granted a 5-month working visa for Spain – enough to cover the strawberry season.
