A quiet, powerful piece about home, dignity, and the power of resistance
With Calle Málaga - A Home in Tangier, a finely balanced drama hits the big screen at filmforum Duisburg on June 23, 2026, telling a story of loss, self-assertion, and family tension. The focus is on María Ángeles, played by Carmen Maura, whose quiet determination carries the film and transforms the conflict over an apartment into a moving tale about aging, memory, and independence. The screening begins at 18:00 at filmforum at Dellplatz 16 in Duisburg. ([filmforum.de](https://filmforum.de/programm-tickets/))
When memory becomes a stage
Maryam Touzani tells this story with palpable dramatic precision: first as a family conflict, then with a comedic breath, and finally as a tender love story. The direction relies on glances, pauses, and spaces, creating a visual language that not only shows Tangier but makes it feel tangible. Critics emphasize the sensual tone, the lightness despite serious themes, and Carmen Maura's presence as one of the great actresses in European cinema.

Tangier as an atmospheric resonance space
The film expands its impact through colors, light, and movement: narrow alleyways, the sea, markets, and the physicality of everyday life create a dense stage experience of cinema. The recapture of the apartment is not merely a plot but an emotional space where dignity and self-determination clash. The film's audience award resonance at the Venice Festival highlights its strong appeal to audiences.
