In a traditional shop in Morocco, the dying art of caftan-making is kept
alive by Halim and his wife Mina. When Halim hires young apprentice Youssef,
their shared passion for the craft becomes more than professional.
Meanwhile, Mina's declining health causes her to resentfully act out while
also seeking some spontaneity before her inevitable passing. The movie depicts
their day-to-day lives without speeches, but through actions that reveal their
feelings and the societal constraints they face.
Amidst it all, Halim painstakingly crafts a beautiful blue caftan for a
deserving recipient. The movie is a scrupulous,
compassionate, and captivating portrayal of the complexities of life and
relationships. |
