Summaries

Plot Summary

Calle Málaga is a 2025 Spanish-language drama directed by Maryam Touzani in her first film made primarily in Spanish, co-written with Nabil Ayouch. The movie stars veteran actress Carmen Maura as María Ángeles, a spirited woman rooted in her Tangier neighbourhood whose life is upended by her daughter Clara’s plan to sell the family home. Also featured are Marta Etura, Ahmed Boulane, María Alfonsa Rosso, and Miguel Garcés in key roles. Set in the vibrant port city of Tangier, Morocco, the film blends domestic drama with gentle romance as María Ángeles digs in her heels to resist change and protect her memories. Through her struggle to keep her house, she unexpectedly reconnects with life, rediscovering passion, sensuality, and resilience even as generational tensions simmer between her and Clara. The narrative — touching on themes of belonging, memory, and intergenerational bonds — is anchored by Maura’s lively performance and Touzani’s warm direction. Calle Málaga premiered in the Spotlight section at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on August 29, 202,5 and later screened at major festivals including Toronto and Palm Springs. It won audience awards at Venice and other festivals and was selected as Morocco’s submission for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards. After festival runs, the film is set for theatrical release in France on March 16, 2026, and limited release in other markets on February 6, 2026.
