Overview

Casanegra is a Moroccan-Norwegian co-production drama film that peels back the glossy surface of Casablanca to reveal the city's darker underbelly. In a society where respectability governs public life, the film unflinchingly portrays the realities of domestic violence, alcohol abuse, and drug addiction in the city's hidden corners. At the center are Karim and Adil, two young men navigating survival in the urban sprawl, their friendship tested by the harsh conditions around them. A bold and authentic portrait of marginalized youth in Moroccan urban life, Casanegra stands as a powerful and socially resonant work in North African and Arabic cinema.
