Through Her Lens: Calle Malaga [ENG SUBS]

Calle Malaga is a touching new film by Maryam Touzani (The Blue Caftan), exploring themes of nostalgia, security, and self-discovery in later life. It presents a loving portrait of a woman who refuses to be diminished. 74-year-old Maria (Carmen Maura) enjoys a quiet life within the close-knit Spanish community of Tangier, a vibrant Moroccan coastal town. Her world is shaken when her daughter Clara (Marta Etura) arrives from Madrid to sell the apartment that Maria calls home. Determined to stand her ground, Maria fights to keep her house and memories alive. In the process, she unexpectedly discovers love once again. Calle Malaga won the Audience Award at the Venice Film Festival. Actress Carmen Maura is renowned as the muse of Pedro Almodóvar and featured in many of his early films. As Deadline states, the film is 'a lovely ode to growing old but not giving in to age, to living life as it is meant to be lived – on your own terms.'
