Salvation Army

A coming-of-age drama that intimately traces a young gay man's struggle for identity and safety within a repressive family and social environment.

Abdellah is a young gay man navigating the sexual, racial and political climate of Morocco. Growing up in a large family in a working-class neighborhood, Abdellah is caught between a distant father, an authoritarian mother, an older brother whom he adores and a handful of predatory older men, in a society that denies his homosexuality.
