Synopsis

In today’s beautiful and endearing yet chaotic Casablanca, two 20-something year-old childhood friends, ADIL and KARIM, try to make a life for themselves.
Living by their street-smart wits, which often involves small-time misdeeds, KARIM employs children who sell cigarettes on street corners, but decides to straighten up his life and dreams of gaining respect and success. While, ADIL has found a miracle solution to all his problems: buy a visa and get a work contract to immigrate to Malmo, a mystified Swedish town.
As their decisions and their dreams are challenged by a tough reality, a woman appears in their life. The story of CASANEGRA leads ADIL and KARIM to final moments of truth: as they are hired by a local mobster to execute a job that will earn them a ticket out, everything they know is called into question.
CASANEGRA is thus the theatre of their dilemmas: love or friendship? Adventure or reason?
Hope or despair?
It is a love story between two young protagonists and their city, a city that does not love them in return.
CASANEGRA is an ode to friendship, to the hopes of a city and a generation
