Returning to your roots sounds poetic until your neighbors start taking notes.
A Franco-Moroccan couple leaves France to settle in Morocco and faces the eyes of others. The large villa is a poignant drama that highlights cultural differences between France and Morocco and offers a beautiful lesson in tolerance.
Acting
Mélanie Maudran's unraveling is quietly devastating.
Production
The villa itself becomes a character—gorgeous and suffocating.
Director
Latif Lahlou
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Latif Lahlou explores the rarely-cinematic topic of reverse migration—Moroccans returning 'home' after decades in Europe, often finding neither place fully accepts them.
The villa's architecture mirrors the couple's fractured state: French colonial bones, Moroccan additions, neither quite fitting together anymore.
