BouchraBouchra

Struggling with writer's block, a queer Moroccan coyote filmmaker in Brooklyn calls her mother in Casablanca for her semi-autobiographical script.

Bouchra is an adult animated drama with comic touches from directors Orian Barki and Meriem Bennani. In Brooklyn, New York City, Bouchra, a queer Moroccan coyote, works as a filmmaker. Voiced by Meriem Bennani, she has been staring at the blank pages of the script for her first film, a semi-autobiographical story set in Morocco about a queer filmmaker who left Casablanca for New York and the role her mother, a cardiologist, played in that decision. To find the details, Bouchra begins a series of phone calls with her mother Aïcha in Casablanca. Their contact follows a nine-year silence that began when Bouchra came out. Bouchra is also involved in relationships within New York’s queer scene and worries about the effect of her sexuality on her bond with her mother, while her chosen family in New York supports her.
