Winner of the FIPRESCI critics’ prize for the Un Certain Regard section in Cannes and Morocco’s entry for the 95th Academy Awards, The Blue Caftan centres on an emotional triangle between a middle-aged couple and a younger man. Set in the medina of the Moroccan town Salé, Mina and her husband Halim run a small shop selling traditional caftans, but the arrival of a handsome new apprentice, Youssef, stirs problems when Halim realises his attraction to him.
