Story, without spoilers
Across different periods, five people struggle with expectations that restrict their lives. Casablanca brings their separate experiences into a shared frame: private hopes, questions of belonging and the pressure to conform. Their paths suggest connections that the characters themselves do not necessarily recognise.
Context & recognition
Co-written by Nabil Ayouch and Maryam Touzani, this ensemble drama places personal freedom within a larger social portrait. Its structure moves between individual stories, allowing contrasts in experience to carry the argument.
