20:30 | Open-air screening – Porte Bagage
When Noor, a devoted caregiver, is offered her dream job as a chef in Paris, she can no longer care for her father Musa, who is living with dementia. As a solution, she helps him emigrate to Morocco—a decision that is met with strong resistance from the rest of the family.

This unconventional choice immediately sparks conflict within the family. What follows is a journey that is both chaotic and deeply moving, filled with emotional baggage. Set against the breathtaking landscapes of Morocco, family bonds, cultural differences, and personal sacrifices are put to the test. Because while love can overcome many obstacles, the realities of caregiving often force people to make heartbreaking choices.
