THE BLUE CAFTAN tells the story of a forbidden love triangle exploring mortality, sexuality and the dying art of traditional handcrafts.
Mina (Lubna Azabal) and her husband Halim (Saleh Bakri) run a small business making and selling bespoke caftans in one of Moroccoβs oldest medinas. Halim is a master of his trade, and Mina a canny saleswoman, though their wares donβt come cheap and traditional dress is falling out of favour.
Woven with exquisite care, Maryam Touzaniβs Cannes Un Certain Regard winning drama reveals a beautiful love triangle in a small Moroccan town. (Where gay relations are forbidden). Touzani explores a complex marriage with tenderness and grace in a sincere and superbly performed film that unfolds in unexpected and heartening ways.
