North Africa. The bustling city of Tanger is, according to Maria Angeles, a place where life is good. She feels at home in her neighborhood among young and old, where everyone knows each other, where the sun makes life pleasant and where tradition is respected. However, her daily routine is interrupted when her daughter comes from Madrid and wants to sell her mother's apartment. Maar Maria refuses to be dictated to and determinedly seeks a way out.
‘Calle Málaga’ is a small film gem: thanks to Carmen Maura who shines in her role as Maria Angeles; thanks to camera operator Virginie Surdej who portrays Maria and Tanger in the most attractive way and thanks also to the simple yet so well-constructed screenplay.
