Halim has been married to Mina for a long time, with whom he runs a traditional caftan store in the medina (old town) of Salé, Morocco. The couple has always lived with Halim’s secret – his homosexuality – about which he has learned to keep quiet. However, Mina’s illness and the arrival of a young apprentice upset this balance. United in their love, each will help the other face their fears. Beautifully acted and photographed, and you're drawn into the story immediately. It's amazing that this film could be produced in Morocco where such topics are generally taboo.
