Maryam Touzani’s sophomore feature is a rich and empathetic drama set in the Moroccan town of Salé, following a master tailor and his wife in their artisanal caftan shop.
Mina runs the shop while her husband Halim crafts bespoke garments. When the couple hire a new apprentice called Youssef, Halim’s growing feelings for the man force him to confront a lifetime of repression.
A beautiful and moving drama that handles the complexity of love and relationships with compassion.
