Polygamous is a Moroccan comedy film that places its protagonist Mehdi in a deliciously awkward predicament: already married with two children, he has decided to take a second wife — but the real challenge is figuring out how to break the news to his wife Hayat. The film mines the comedic and emotional fallout of this dilemma with sharp wit, using Mehdi's domestic predicament as a lens to examine attitudes toward polygamy in contemporary Moroccan society. By grounding a culturally specific scenario in relatable anxieties about marriage, honesty, and family dynamics, the film delivers both laughs and pointed social commentary.
