Un amour à Casablanca (English: A Love in Casablanca) is a 1991 Moroccan drama film directed by Abdelkader Lagtaâ in his directorial debut.[1] [2] [3] The relatively controversial film was a box office success.[4] [5] [6]
Feeling a strong sense of abandonment after her mother commits suicide and her sister runs away, eighteen-year-old Saloua is constantly fighting with her father and stepmother, because of the severity of one and the mockery of the other. She finds solace - and perhaps even love - in two men, one older and unstable, the other younger and exuberant.
