Halim has been married for a long time to Mina, with whom he runs a traditional caftan store in the médina of Salé, in Morocco. The couple has always lived with Halim's secret, his homosexuality, which he has learned to keep quiet. Mina's illness and the arrival of a young apprentice will upset this balance. United in their love, each will help the other face his fears.

What others think

Beautiful and gentle, though the bloated runtime works to the film’s disadvantage.
Marina Ashioti Little White Lies
At times I wondered if the film is a bit too tasteful and tactful about the pain that Halim and Mina have to suppress, but still it’s a hugely compassionate and emotionally satisfying movie.
Cath Clarke The Guardian
The Blue Caftan is a film that venerates the tradition of craft while arguing that true freedom also requires a break with an oppressive status quo.
Chris Shields Sight & Sound
