Casa Mediterráneo dedicates its cultural activities this week to the 18th Alicante International Film Festival-Moroccan Film Series, with the screening of four films at its headquarters at 21.30 hours. To attend the screenings, prior registration is required by emailing eventos@casa-mediterraneo.es.
Tonight the film Adam, by Maryam Touzani, will be screened. Abla runs a humble bakery in her own home in Casablanca, where she lives alone with her 8-year-old daughter Warda. Her routine, dictated by work and housework, is interrupted one day when someone knocks on her door. It is Samia, a young pregnant woman who is looking for a job and a roof over her head. Tomorrow, Tuesday, it is the turn of the film Razzia, by Nabil Ayouch. The film takes viewers to a harsh but attractive Casablanca. 30 years after the great master of Atlas was silenced, four souls will struggle to find the truth. They will do so through the echo of the lost dreams and disillusions of the five protagonists who embody the sparks that will ignite the city. On Wednesday the 2nd, Oliver Laxe’s film Mimosas will be screened, which tells the story of Shakib, a modern man who travels to the mountains of Morocco and meets two bandits from another historical era who carry the corpse of an old sheikh on their way to the ancient city of Sijilmasa in order to allow him to rest with his loved ones. And finally, next Thursday, Casa Mediterráneo broadcasts the film Monsters, by Aksel Rifman, which tells the story of three masked men who attack a rich man in his holiday home and hold his wife and daughter hostage while they ask them about the whereabouts of his money.
