Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who's survived a family wedding and people who love a good family story. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Anyone with siblings or parents will recognize something here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 19 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Even though he's been living with Fouad for three years, Malik is going to marry Halima. Since Fouad doesn't accept this marriage, which would imply a total upheaval of their everyday life, Malik makes him promise not to attend the wedding, which will take place in his parents’ village. As the ceremony approaches, the pressure builds. Will Malik choose to save face in front of his family and the wedding guests or will he choose to save the relationship with the one he loves?
