About this Event

Itto, a young woman from a modest rural background, is slowly adapting to the Moroccan privileged codes of her husband’s family. But when supernatural events put the country in a state of emergency, Itto finds herself separated from her husband and new family. Alone, pregnant and looking for her way back, she finds emancipation.

If you want sleight-of-hand cinematic atmosphere, a big movie made on a small budget, and a sense of the planet tipping on its axis toward destruction and rebirth, here's your vision of the end times. - Ty Burr of Substack (Top Critic)

Animalia is a quiet, thoughtful film with grand things on its mind that it tackles with impressive confidence, to great success. - Alexandra Heller-Nicholas of AWFJ (Top Critic)
