CALLE MÁLAGA

With Carmen Maura, Ahmed Boulane

Winner of the Audience Award, 2025 Venice Film Festival, this colorful romantic crowd pleaser is a triumph for luminous 80-year-old Spanish star Carmen Maura.  Widowed Maria (Maura) is enjoying life to the fullest in her home in Tangier, the vibrant city of her birth, when her unhappy divorced daughter arrives from Madrid with a plan to sell the cherished apartment and consign her mother to a nursing home.  Maria’s rebellion launches on day one when the adventure of reinventing her independence begins with a speedy exit from the institution.  Friendship, ingenuity and creative cookery are at the heart of a delightful plan that incidentally brings Maria a new love and, quite unexpectedly, hot sex.  In Spanish and Arabic with English subtitles
