Calle Málaga

Maria Angeles, 74, leads a quiet life within the close-knit Spanish community of Tangier, Morocco. Her world wavers when her daughter Clara comes from Madrid to sell the apartment in which she has lived her whole life. Determined to stay in the city that shaped her, Maria fights to keep her home and her memories. During that struggle, she discovers, to her own surprise, the power of love and desire again. “A bittersweet ode to old age.” ★★★★ - in De Volkskrant “A heartwarming and beautifully styled film with a good dose of humor, which questions our ideas about aging and holds them up to the light.” ★★★★ - in CineMagazine “Carmen Maura dedicates film about tender love in old age” ★★★ - in Trouw “Just like her charming, combative protagonist, filmmaker Touzani refuses to subsequently fall into an obvious victim drama. And so María bravely stands her ground against all odds in this idyllic, somewhat sentimental story about the importance of an inspiring place to live” ★★★ - in VPRO Cinema “'Calle Málaga convinces above all as a celebration of Maria’s zest for life, carried by the simultaneously very vulnerable and rock-solid lead role of Carmen Maura” - in Het Parool
