A pizzeria transforms into a bolero sanctuary every Thursday at 8pm — resistance through rhythm.
Casablanca emerged from a sensitive look (and listening) from a characteristic place on 3rd street in the center of Goiânia. With a territorial approach through a biographical perspective, the documentary tells the storys of the lives of Zardos and Iara that today allow places like Casablanca to continue to exist in a big city. On Thursdays, at 8 pm, what during the week was just a pizzeria, becomes an environment where bolero goes beyond the corners.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Goiânia's Rua 3 was once the cultural heart of Brazil's interior; Casablanca is one of the last holdouts against mall-ification.
The 'Morocco' keyword is a red herring — this Casablanca is named for the 1942 film's promise of escape and romance, not the city.
