Halim and Mina run a traditional caftan store in one of Morocco’s oldest medinas. The couple have lived for a long time with Halim’s secret, his homosexuality, which he has learnt to keep quiet about. Mina’s illness and the arrival of a young apprentice will disturb this equilibrium. United in their love, each will help the other confront their fears.
