The Damned Don’t Cry

Fyzal Boulifa follows up his acclaimed debut feature Lynn + Lucy with this equally accomplished Morocco-set drama.

After the nomadic Fatima-Zahra and her son Selim are attacked and robbed, they decide to move to Tangiers for a fresh start. Before long, mother and son start to drift apart as they find themselves on very different life trajectories…

The Damned Don’t Cry defies audience expectations while delivering richly-drawn characters and deeply-explored themes of identity and belonging.
