Safar Film Festival: Adam (12*)

Cinema On Demand

two woman sitting in a dark room look at each other

Inspired by a real-life encounter, this debut feature by Moroccan actor and filmmaker Maryam Touzani is the story of two lonely souls, trapped by destiny, who seek refuge in flight and denial.

Abla runs a modest local bakery from her home in Casablanca where she lives alone with her 8 year-old daughter Warda. Their routine of housework and homework is interrupted one day by a knock on the door.

It is Samia, a young woman looking for a job and a roof over her head. The little girl is immediately taken with the newcomer, but her mother initially refuses to allow a pregnant stranger into their home. However, Abla’s resolve gradually softens and Samia’s arrival begins to offer all of them the prospect of a new life.
