Synopsis

Winner of Best Screenplay at Cannes in 2018’s Un Certain Regard Competition, SOFIA is a beautifully-performed drama with surprising twists that illustrates the powerfully restrictive gender and class dynamics of modern day Morocco. Sofia is a single 20-year old living with her aspiring upper middle class family in Casablanca. At a family dinner to host her successful uncle’s visiting associate, Sofia’s wealthy cousin observes that the girl is in labor, but Sofia denies that she is pregnant.
