Film still from "Bouchra" directed by Orian Barki & Meriem Bennani (Morocco, Italy, USA, 2025).

Bouchra, a 35-year-old lesbian Moroccan filmmaker based in New York, is paralyzed by the fear of the blank page. A phone call with her mother, a cardiologist based in Casablanca, brings up many memories between them. The affectionate but complex conversation that the two have triggers a constructive change and takes them on a journey through family ties, the mother-daughter relationship and the emotions that love unleashes.

Bouchra is a unique combination of animation, documentary techniques and an ingenious narrative structure: a family drama between New York and Casablanca that transforms personal memory into a moving story about relationships with loved ones, identity, self-discovery and love.

Film will be screened in original version with subtitles in Spanish and Catalan.

A film in the 2026 edition of Mostra FIRE!! Film Festival.
