The Blue Caftan

“A hugely compassionate and emotionally satisfying movie.” The Guardian.
“.... a stunning portrayal of marital sacrifice and devotion.” – The Times.
“A work of handcrafted beauty.” – The Hollywood Reporter.
"The Blue Caftan tells the story of Halim and Mina, a couple who run a traditional caftan store in Morocco. Their lives are disrupted by Mina's illness and the arrival of a young apprentice named Youssef, which forces them to confront their hidden emotions and the complexities of their relationship, including Halim's homosexuality. The film explores themes of love, acceptance, and the delicate balance between tradition and modernity." - Foccal summary*
