CALLE MÁLAGA
Morocco’s Academy Award submission for
Best International Feature, Calle Málaga stars Carmen Maura as María Ángeles, a fiercely independent senior living
in the Spanish quarter of Tangier. María is the beating heart of her
neighborhood, and fiercely attached to the home she’s cherished for over forty
years. But when her daughter (Marta
Etura) returns from Madrid intent on selling the family apartment, María makes
plans to reclaim her home, community and memories she refuses to give up, finding
unexpected romance along the way. Directed by Maryam Touzani (The Blue Caftan), this warm, gently humorous
drama celebrates desire, dignity, and the courage to live on one’s own terms at
any age. (France, Spain, Germany, Belgium,
