Karavana: Adam + diskuze s Terezou Němečkovou

Just like caravans, setting out on journeys to foreign lands to find unknown treasures and knowledge, the cycle Caravan crosses borders of the familiar and brings the beauty of the Middle East into a cinema in the heart of Prague. With the help of films focusing on the Middle East (made in the region itself our outside of it), popularizing introductions and discussions with special guests, we will touch on both pleasant and controversial subjects, widespread myths and unconventional views on Europe's closet neighbor region.

This discussion cycle was established as the initiative of the Majles student association in cooperation with the Department of Middle Eastern Studies of the Faculty of Arts at Charles University.

Adam / Maryam Touzani / Morocco, France, Belgium 2019 / 98 min. – Abla runs a modest local bakery from her home in Casablanca where she lives alone with her 8 year-old daughter Warda. Their routine of housework and homework is interrupted one day by a knock on the door. It is Samia, a young woman looking for a job and a roof over her head. The little girl is immediately taken with the newcomer but her mother initially refuses to allow a pregnant stranger into their home. Gradually, however, Alba’s resolve softens and Samia’s arrival begins to offer all of them the prospect of a new life.
