Halima

Halima opens on June 15, 2026. The film follows its title character, who lives along the Moroccan coast and earns her living gathering and selling mussels. When an unknown phone call surfaces, it draws her long-buried past back into the present. After the death of her husband, Halima had withdrawn to their old house in the mountains, but the land around her is shifting — leaving her home, livelihood, and sense of belonging all in an uncertain state. Grief, hardship, and displacement accumulate in sequence. The director, a former photojournalist, brings that background to bear on the film's visual approach, using stark cinematography to document Halima's day-to-day existence without recourse to dramatic declaration. The film is in Arabic.
