María Ángeles, a 79-year-old woman, happily lives alone in Tangier, enjoying her sunny city on the Mediterranean. When her newly divorced daughter arrives from Madrid to sell her apartment, María finds a way to stay in her community, and in the process, she re-examines her life and falls in love.

Director Maryam Touzani‘s film is a warm, wonderful story, anchored by Carmen Maura’s spellbinding performance. The Spanish-speaking community in Tangier is itself a character, the film inspired by director Touzani’s own grandmother.
