This selection crowns the exceptional journey of the film, which participated in numerous national and international festivals, thus confirming its place among the most significant Moroccan cinematographic works, reflecting crucial societal issues with an innovative artistic vision.

The participation of “TRIPLE A” in the official competition of the Alexandria International Film Festival constitutes an important step in the film’s journey, which competes in the feature film category with 12 films from 9 countries.

The festival, for its 40th edition, presents a varied selection of cinematographic works addressing human, social and cultural issues, illustrating the diversity of Mediterranean realities. The inclusion of “TRIPLE A” in this competition is a recognition of the artistic quality of the work and its ability to address contemporary issues that concern a wide range of Moroccan and global society.

“TRIPLE A” is a drama that blends seriousness and satire to offer a bold artistic perspective on issues of social and economic marginalization. The film tells the story of characters living on the fringes of society, seeking to escape their harsh conditions and realize their ambitions despite the challenges they face. It presents three intertwined love stories, where the destinies of the protagonists intersect in unexpected ways, revealing the social and economic obstacles they face. The film thus offers a deep vision of human and social issues.

Since its first screening, “TRIPLE A” has captured the attention of critics and audiences, garnering praise for its dramatic power and unique treatment of sensitive subjects with a distinctive cinematic approach. The film was selected in several prestigious international and local festivals, thus consolidating its position as one of the most notable Moroccan film productions of this year.

Furthermore, “TRIPLE A” also participates in the official competition of the Salé International Women’s Film Festival, addressing issues of marginalization and ambition from a female perspective, reflecting the vision of director Jihane El Bahhar. The film was also well received by the Moroccan public, who identified with its characters and the story, a mirror of their own reality.

The success of “TRIPLE A” is not limited to local festivals, but has also resonated on the international stage, participating in numerous film festivals around the world. This global visibility allowed the film to reach a diverse audience, coming from different cultures, confirming its ability to address universal human issues with a refined cinematographic language.

The film is carried by powerful performances from Moroccan cinema stars, with the brilliant Majdouline Idrissi in the lead role, accompanied by the famous actor Aziz Dadas. Other illustrious figures of Moroccan cinema, such as Hind Benjebbara, Khalil Oubaaqa, Fatima Zahra Bennacer and Abdellatif Chaouki, also contributed to this work, offering intense performances that reflect the psychological and social complexity of the characters, thus enriching the film.

Jihane El Bahhar is one of the most talented directors in contemporary Moroccan cinema, combining artistic creativity and daring in the treatment of delicate societal issues. “TRIPLE A” is part of its creative approach aimed at offering a cinematographic vision which reflects Moroccan reality and which raises questions about identity, ambition, marginalization and social challenges, thus becoming a “voice for speechless”.

With this film, El Bahhar offers mastered staging, mixing poignant dramatic moments with subtle black comedy, giving the film a singular and remarkable identity. This success is the result of years of hard work and research into new narrative approaches reflecting the diversity and complexity of Moroccan society.

With its continued participation in international film festivals, “TRIPLE A” aims to strengthen its position as one of the Moroccan cinematographic works capable of transcending local borders to reach a wider audience across the world.
