Event description
The Moroccan family's traditional trade is handmade by the husband Halim, who sews beautiful kaftans, and the wife Mina, who interacts with customers. In an age of mechanised production, it doesn't pay much, but it brings joy to their souls and meaning to their lives. One day, a young boy, Yousef, knocks on their door and stirs up the family's carefully hidden secrets. This tender film delves into issues of honesty, loyalty and intimate agreements between people, and the characters are captivating in their sincerity and courageous acts of kindness towards others. The trio's attempts to live a normal life seem endearing, even old-fashioned, and at times move one to tears. The film was awarded the Fipresci Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in the 'Special View' programme. Maryam Touzani is best known to Lithuanian audiences for her previous work, Adam. N-16 In Arabic with Lithuanian subtitles.
