Love will come later
Documentary film | 83 min | 2021
Inside Marrakech’s bustling Medina, Samir is looking for love and a brighter future. But his
summer flings all come to a bitter end at the airport and he is left behind in a country with
limited possibilities. When Samir really falls in love, he is faced with a major decision: Should
he listen to his sisters and agree to an arranged marriage in Morocco? Or should he follow
his love and his dream of a brighter future in Europe?
Der elegant gestaltet Film gibt einen tiefen Einblick in Samirs Gefühlswelt - und macht dem Schweizer Publikum die eigenen Klischeevorstellungen über muslimische Männer bewusst.
Der Bund, Regula Fuchs
The choice to drill down into a male character who’s immersed in and fatally influenced - though
not totally dominated - by a highly patriarchal society is particularly interesting.

Julia Furer schafft den dokumentarischen Spagat zwischen Intimität und Würde meisterhaft.
