Heaven's Doors

Morocco2006 160min 35mm Color

Synopsis

Set in Morocco's Casablanca, the movie presents three main characters. Although the three people, Ney, Lisa, Smail, destined for tragedy, endlessly pursue happiness, such happiness is never theirs. Why is this so? Could it be because they have no father? Or is it because of their unconditional love for their mother? Or still, is it because they have lost the power of love? Or maybe it's because of their fear of love. A rare Moroccan film that is both amusing and serious at the same time.
