Halim and Mina own a small family tailor shop that specializes in ceremonial caftans. Halim is a stubborn proponent of traditional hand-crafted work, but it is time-consuming and can turn off customers because of long waiting periods. And so he decides to hire an assistant, Youssef. The presence of the attractive young man arouses long-suppressed feelings in Halim, something that does not go unnoticed by his wife Mina… Maryam Touzani presents a warm film, shot with the kind of love and care with which Halim works on his life’s work, the titular blue caftan. A deeply moving melodrama about the many forms of love, The Blue Caftan excels thanks to a sophisticated script and the three leads’ excellent performances.
