Le bleu du caftan Maryam Touzani

Halim, a talented tailor from Salé, specialises in making caftans using traditional techniques. Although he runs a shop with his wife Mina, the couple hide a secret from Moroccan society: Halim is gay. The story unfolds as Halim, working on a magnificent blue caftan for a wealthy client, takes on Youssef, a new apprentice who shares his passion. A mutual attraction between Halim and Youssef arouses Mina’s jealousy, and she wrongly accuses Youssef of losing a precious fabric. Tragically, Mina is suffering from incurable cancer. As her health deteriorates, Halim cares for her while entrusting his shop to Youssef.
