The Blue Caftan

In one of the most unexpected arthouse successes in recent years in Greece, Maryam Touzani crafts a finely detailed portrait of love, faith, and identity. A film about silence that speaks louder than words.

Synopsis

In a small tailoring workshop in the heart of the old Medina, a craftsman who makes traditional kaftans lives with his gravely ill wife in a marriage built on tenderness and quiet understanding. When a young apprentice enters the shop, the gentleness of duty comes into conflict with the truth of desire.
