Badis, is a 1989 Moroccan movie, directed by Mohamed Abderrahman Tazi, and starring Jillali Ferhati, Maribel Verdú, Zakia Tahiri. with a runtime of 89 minutes.
Badis is a Moroccan drama set in a small coastal fishing village that forms a Spanish enclave within Moroccan territory — a liminal space that mirrors the film's themes of cultural collision and confinement. At its center is Touria, a woman trapped by her jealous husband, a schoolteacher who suspects her of infidelity and locks her away from the world. Her unlikely friendship with Moira becomes the film's emotional core, as the two women begin learning flamenco together — transforming an Andalusian dance form into a quiet act of liberation and solidarity. Badis is a tender, affecting portrait of female friendship and resilience under patriarchal control.
