Alegría

Alegría’s life takes a radical turn when she finds out that her orthodox Jewish brother wants his daughter’s wedding to take place in Melilla. With the help of Dunia, her Arab housekeeper, and Marian, her Christian friend, she will explore her own roots while helping her niece Yael to find herself as a woman in a very conservative male environment. “My aim was to explore similarities and differences through humor, exploring the conflicts we find in a place like Melilla, which are at once highly localized and universal” (Violeta Salama).
