In the regulated confines of a 1930s Casablanca brothel, a place where lives are meticulously catalogued and commodified within the colonial "Registry," four women forge an unlikely and potent sisterhood. Among them are a woman of unwavering strength who builds and defends, a spirit as untamed as wildfire, a keeper of ancient knowledge, and a pragmatist who navigates the treacherous currents of their shared reality. Together, they represent a defiant counter-narrative to the ledger that seeks to erase their identities, their desires, and their inherent humanity. This is the story of their quiet resistance and the explosive rebellion that ultimately shatters the illusion of control. As they meticulously craft their own "registry"—a clandestine record of their true selves, their shared experiences, and their dreams of freedom—they expose the fragile foundations of colonial authority. 'The Registry of Lost Souls' is an evocative journey into the heart of a suppressed community, celebrating the enduring power of connection and the courage found in reclaiming one's own story against overwhelming odds. It is a testament to the souls that refuse to be erased, offering a captivating exploration of resilience and the profound, subversive beauty of the human spirit.
