A quiet, clever drama about home, dignity, and resistance
Calle Málaga – A Home in Tangier brings a tragicomedy to the screen at filmforum Duisburg on June 18, 2026, telling a story of loss, willpower, and the tenacious strength of holding on. The film by Maryam Touzani follows María Ángeles, who sees her daughter again after a year – and is confronted with a message that shakes her life to its core.

When an apartment becomes a battlefield of feelings
The starting point seems simple, yet it is precisely from this that the film derives its tension: A mother refuses to give up her home and transforms the seemingly defeated situation into an act of self-assertion. The staging thrives on subtle glances, quiet humor, and a drama that doesn’t become loud but crawls under the skin. Carmen Maura carries this figure with gumption and resilience; film critiques highlight this very mix of dignity, irony, and emotional precision.

Maryam Touzani's dramaturgy focuses on closeness rather than pathos
Maryam Touzani does not tell a contrived feel-good film, but rather a sensitive exploration of home as living space, memory, and conflict zone. The dramaturgy works with the economy of silence, with family tensions, and with a view of Tangier that opens the private to the social. The fact that the film won audience favor in Venice underscores its emotional impact and international resonance.

The filmforum Duisburg as a suitable venue for cinematic nuances
The filmforum, as the first municipal cinema in Germany, is one of the defining establishments of the city and has stood for curated film culture beyond the mainstream since 1959. The house in the Dellplatz atmosphere combines historical cinema culture with current programming work, two downtown cinemas, and an audience seeking the special theater atmosphere of the large viewing space. Numerous parking spaces are available in the vicinity; the main train station is about a 15-minute walk away. The box office generally opens 30 minutes before the start of the performance, earlier for afternoon shows.
