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.
