This rich, slow-burn drama about the complex relationship between a long-married couple delights with glorious and sensual detail.
Halim (Saleh Bakri) and Mina (Lubna Azabal) run a caftan shop in the historic Salé medina, producing exquisitely finished handsewn garments. Married for some time, their union nevertheless contains a secret which must be kept quiet in a strictly conservative country like Morocco, and when new circumstances (including the arrival of a young apprentice) arise, so too do new emotional challenges that threaten to upset the careful calibration of their lives. Brilliantly acted, it’s an overwhelmingly tender character study and a thoughtful investigation into a country’s relationship with tradition and modernity.
