María Ángeles, a 79-year-old Spanish woman, lives alone in Tangier, Morocco, and enjoys her daily routine. However, her life is turned upside down when her daughter arrives from Madrid to sell the apartment in which she has always lived. Determined to stay, she does everything she can to get her home and her belongings back and, unexpectedly, rediscovers love and sensuality.
Maryam Touzani was born in Tangier. After closely participating in Much Loved and co-writing Razzia with Nabil Ayouch — in which she also starred — she directed her first feature, Adam, selected at Cannes (Un Certain Regard) and Morocco’s official Oscar submission. In 2022, she directed The Blue Caftan, also selected at Cannes, and shortlisted for the Oscars — a historic first for a Moroccan film. It won over 60 awards worldwide and achieved the highest international box office takings ever for a Moroccan film. In 2023, she was a member of the Official Competition jury at the Cannes Film Festival. Her latest film, Calle Malaga, a Spanish-language drama starring Carmen Maura, will be released in 2025.
