Sofia Alaoui
"In her feature directorial debut, based on her short So What If the Goats Die, Alaoui follows Itto (Oumaïma Barid), a pregnant woman who finds emancipation as aliens land in Morocco. Intrigued? You should be. Alaoui’s film engages with big ideas on a not so big budget, managing to create a truly transcendental sci-fi-cumphilosophical human odyssey. As Itto tries to reunite with her husband Amine (Mehdi Dehbi), she grapples with the relationship between human agency and the forces of nature. Alaoui asks many urgent questions, leaving us to write our own answers.
This screening is part of our Country In Focus strand: a celebration of Moroccan Cinema. It is proudly supported by the Embassy of Morocco "
