Synopsis
Bouchra, a 35-year-old Moroccan coyote in New York, documents her long-distance relationship with her mother in Casablanca, as they explore together the love, pain, and secrets that unite them through calls and intimate conversations.
Moviegoers are saying
This anthropomorphic animated indie darling about a lesbian filmmaker healing her relationship with her mother has captured hearts with its furry characters, gorgeous cinematography, and refreshingly loose narrative approach. Audiences are particularly enchanted by a theatrical sequence about Niçoise salad and the film's unique blend of intimate storytelling with mass media commentary, though some expected more Shakira-gazelle content.

For all its anthropomorphic animals and unique animation, this is ultimately a low-key indie about a lesbian filmmaker trying to heal her relationship with her mother and I liked it very much.
Drew Burnett GregorySep 27, 2025I’ve made no secret of my weariness with the prevalence, in contemporary queer (and diaspora) cinema, of therapeutic self-narrativizations. In the post-screening Q&A, star and co-director Meriem Bennani expressed a similar aversion, and while I don’t think her film wholly…
Brian 🩸🦇Oct 7, 2025Flow but it’s about a queer filmmaker in NY reconciling mother issues from thousands of miles away — should become an instant classic in the furry community (which can and should only be considered a good thing)

Waited for gazelle Shakira to show up. Deeply disappointed.

What a beautiful movie, incredible animation and a wonderful story. A little confusing at times but overall absolutely enjoyable and a very beautiful very personal story.

The film’s slice-of-life scenes are generationally accurate representations of everyday life, but they aren’t given the narrative or dialectical form to actually say much about that life.

Far from reiterating tired binaries – tradition versus modernity, elders versus youngsters – the film embraces the beauty of contradictions with open arms. Even when the possibility of reconciliation appears out of reach, it is the effort to communicate – whether through words or art – that brings peace.
