Bouchra, a 35-year-old, New York–based Moroccan filmmaker—and coyote—begins work on a film based on her own life. Seeking to confront the complicated dynamics of her past relationships, she begins a long-distance correspondence with her mother, Aicha, who still lives in Casablanca.

A heartfelt exploration of queerness wrapped in unexpectedly furry packaging, this beguiling metacinematic animation is a work of profound imagination and sincerity. Designing its chimerical world with stunning precision, Bouchra bridges the gap between the surreal and the hyperreal.
