CALLE MÁLAGA
Special Features: 2026 Oscar® Selection, Morocco
Eighty-year-old María (Almodóvar muse Carmen Maura, WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN) is a lifelong resident of Tangier, where she lives a full life, not anywhere close to slowing down, as part of a dwindling but vibrant community of Spanish expats. She has her routine, her friends and her antique-filled apartment. But María’s only daughter, Clara, in desperate need of money, is dead set on selling the apartment and its furnishings right out from under her mother — plus, she hopes María will move to Madrid and live out her golden years closer to family. Instead, the headstrong María devises a plan to stay in her beloved Tangier by opening an illicit sports bar in her apartment. In her quest to buy back all her belongings, she meets a cantankerous antique dealer who slowly reawakens feelings she had long forgotten. In this crowd-pleasing coming-of-old-age tale, bathed in a warm glow and sensuously shot, Moroccan filmmaker Maryam Touzani (THE BLUE CAFTAN) gifts Maura with a character worthy of her iconic screen presence. –Josh Gardner
