For Aicha

Overview

The film follows Bouchra, a 35-year-old Moroccan jackal and filmmaker living in New York, as she writes an auto-biographical film exploring how her queerness has impacted her mother Aicha, a cardiologist jackal living in Casablanca. The story blends fiction —Bouchra’s film within the film— with an adaptation of recorded non-fiction conversations between Bennani and her mother.
