WINNER · FIPRESCI PRIZE · CANNES FILM FESTIVAL
A delicate, human three-hander, Maryam Touzani (Adam) tenderly explores a complex marriage in one of Morocco’s oldest medinas, weaving an elegant tale about the convergence of tradition, culture, and love.
Mina and Halim run a bespoke caftan business, built on a lifetime together. But to keep up with modern demands, they must hire new help. The talented young apprentice, Youssef, is dedicated to learning embroidery, and while the three become friends, Halim and Youssef grow closer. Featuring impeccable performances, The Blue Caftan is a profound and nuanced portrait of a marriage built on a love and understanding that transcends sexuality and societal expectations.
“A film that oozes love from almost every frame.” – Indiewire
