Paris or Perish
Directed by Reem Kherici
Produced by Gaumont, Mandarin Cinéma
A light-hearted comedy about a fashion-obsessed woman navigating cultural displacement and self-discovery after deportation, balancing ambition with unexpected personal growth.
Maya is living the ultimate fashionistas dream: she is working as a stylist for one of the French trend setters, in the capital of haute-couture: Paris. One of the IT girls of fashion, shes following her dreams until one night, when her life takes a sudden turn: shes being deported back to Morocco, after being stopped for over speeding, because her Visa expired some time ago. So in no more than 24 hours, shes deported back to her family and original country. The strong cultural shock and the judgmental differences are pushing the woman to obtain back her place in the city of dreams and her dreams, no matter the costs. But that doesn't mean she will have to return alone, as she finds other things also among her way back to the city.
