The Blue Caftan (M) is Maryam Touzani’s Cannes Film Festival award winning drama that reveals a beautiful love triangle in a small Moroccan town (where gay relations are forbidden).
Mina (Lubna Azabal) and her husband Halim (Saleh Bakri) run a caftan store in one of Morocco’s oldest medinas. Halim is a master of his trade, and Mina a canny saleswoman, though their wares don’t come cheap and traditional dress is falling out of favour.
Woven with exquisite care, Touzani explores a complex marriage with tenderness in a superbly performed film that unfolds in unexpected and heartening ways.
Screening at Queer Screen Film Festival from 18 February; in cinemas from 16 March.
CW has 5 x The Blue Caftan in-season double passes to be won, valid from 16 March 2023.
