Established in 1966, Carthage Film Festival (JCC) is one of the oldest Arab film festivals. This year’s edition will host the launch of the Critics’ Week section, which focuses on the first and second works. Filmmakers from all over the world will be able to pitch their works in this section, which will showcase seven feature films. Carthage Industry Days, another new section, will also launch this year.
Life Suits Me Well is set in the mid-1990s. In a small town in the north of Morocco, Fouad is the only employee of the local post office. When he is stricken with neurological disease, his life changes, and a new life begins for Fouad, his wife, and their children. Their home will be filled with love, sorrow, and memories. While Fouad is slowly dying, his family members rediscover themselves. As time goes by, the wounds begin to surface – but the desire to live is inextinguishable.
The film project garnered several awards from the CineGouna Platform, including Grand Prize and Best Film in post-production.
The film was written and directed by Al Hadi Ulad-Mohand and produced by Kasabah Films (Karim Debbagh). MAD Solutions manages the distribution in the Arab world.
