Luscious Moroccan Drama
In 2021, BFS screened the well-received film, Adam. This is Touzani ‘s second feature film, described by Sight and Sound as a ‘tender, dignified drama’.
A master tailor who owns a caftan shop in Morocco’s oldest medina, falls for his young male apprentice in this nuanced portrait of unconditional love at its most radical.
A love triangle forms between husband, wife and apprentice which is dramatic yet slowly shifts towards acceptance, compassion and mutual love.
Touzani worked as a screenwriter and documentarian prior to moving into features, and has a keen eye for stories about unconventional relationships. The International Federation of Film Critics awarded this film the Un Certain Regard award at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Potential Films.
Morocco, 2022, 123 min.
Dir: Maryam Touzani. Stars Saleh Bakri, Lubna Azabla and Ayoub Missioui.
