Looking For Tomorrow
Portobello Film Festival presents the Gala preview screening
of 'Looking For Tomorrow'. A stunning love story about
a fourteen year old girl pressured into marrying an
older, well-off man, growing resigned to the idea she
meets the young Ibrahim, who is in hiding waiting to
take a 'Patera' to Spain. Stormy weather delays the
voyage and the young people share a fugitive love, dreaming
of running away together, before reality intrudes. Filmed
in the countryside of Larache, North Morocco which has
links with the local area. In Moroccan dialect and starring
newcomers Said Bekkeurie and Taouba Noro.
Award winning director Barney Platts-Mills started work
in the Shepperton Studios cutting room aged 15. Has
written and directed four features, set up Massive Videos,
a production company for errant young people from west
London and founded the Portobello Film Festival before
moving to Morocco.
