Couscous and Secrets at filmforum: A delicate comedy about origins, love, and the art of concealment
On July 29, 2026, filmforum Duisburg invites you to a special movie night: Couscous and Secrets tells with subtle irony and a warm view about Mehdi, the young Algerian cook, who prefers to sort his life into neat categories. Yet, exactly where identity, family, and love happiness intersect, the true stage experience of this clever culture-clash comedy begins.
Between Stove, Heart, and Origin
The film follows Mehdi in a world that appears light and comical on the surface, but deeply touches on the big questions of belonging. The dramaturgy relies on fine tensions instead of loud effects: A hidden secret, a web of family expectations, and a young love come to life. This creates an atmosphere that feels equally cheerful and vulnerable.
A Play with Rhythm and Restraint
The staging thrives on precise observation, elegant dialogues, and the shift between everyday comedy and emotional depth. It is precisely this restraint that makes the appeal: no garish exaggeration, but a finely balanced interplay of acting, rhythm, and situational comedy. The audience experiences an evening that does not preach loudly but resonates subtly.
