The Blue Caftan
May 5th 2023

The Blue Caftan is built around 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.

The Blue Caftan won the FIPRESCI critics' prize for the Un Certain Regard section in Cannes 2022 and was Morocco's entry for the 2023 Oscars.
