In a country where the law punishes and outlaws all forms of sex outside marriage, as well as homosexuality and prostitution, women have only two options for their sexual identities: virgin or wife. Sex and Lies is an essential confrontation with Morocco's intimate demons and a vibrant appeal for the universal freedom to be, to love and to desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Leila Slimani has a knack for breaking taboos. . .
