A cinematic evening full of heart, humor, and secrets at filmforum Duisburg
With Couscous and Secrets, an entertaining movie afternoon and evening is on the schedule for July 27, 2026, at filmforum Duisburg, combining fine observation, family chaos, and culture-clash comedy. The film tells the story of Mehdi, a young Algerian chef who navigates between love, origins, and the expectations of his family. The filmforum will show the title in the Municipal Cinema at the Dellplatz location in a venue known for its sophisticated film culture and special cinema atmosphere.

A comedy with flavor and pace
Amine Adjina directs a story that starts lightly and quickly gains depth: In Lyon, Mehdi is working on his bistro life while simultaneously maintaining a second, carefully constructed existence for his mother. It is precisely from this tension that the film derives its appeal. The mix of family film, romantic comedy, and cultural conflict creates a lively event experience that works particularly well in the cinema hall.
