The story of Morocco’s official submission to this year’s Oscar category for Best International Feature Film, The Blue Caftan (2022) is woven together by a middle-aged married couple, Halim (Saleh Bakri) and Mina (Lubna Azabal), who own and run a caftan store in the medina of Salé, Morocco.

The film follows Ganapathy (Karuththadaiyaan) and his son, Velu (Chellapandi), whom he picks up from school and forces to accompany him on a bus to bring back his estranged wife from her mother's place.
