“A keenly tuned, non-judgmental exploration of an enduring relationship that has thrived despite the stresses of conflicting desires and the pressures of social norms.”~Jonathan Romney, Screen Daily

Aroview: A rare peek into Moroccan culture, and the dying craft of hand-made caftans that are painstakingly embroidered with a needle and thread. And it’s also about sex, brought into sharper relief when a maleem and his wife take on an apprentice at their tailoring business.

Deliberately paced and sensually crafted, this LGBT-themed drama is also a moving portrait of a long-term traditional marriage bonded in friendship and respect but one that is coming to its end. It will sweep you away.
