Directed by Orian Barki and Meriem Bennani, Bouchra follows a 35-year-old Moroccan filmmaker living in New York who confronts a creative block when a call from her mother in Casablanca resurfaces buried memories and desires. Part autofiction, the film blends humor and tenderness to explore mother–daughter bonds, the fraught process of creation, and the porous border between memory and imagination. Poetic imagery and playful surreal moments — including encounters between an ursine figure and a coyote — shape its intimate, lyrical tone.
