Dima Punk

Dominique Caubet / France (Opera prima - Spanish Premiere - 2020 - 62’ - VOSE)

Once a Punk, always a Punk? This is the story of Stof whom we followed since 2010 – from age 17 to 26 – through the popular districts of Casablanca. Once a Punk… recounts the difficultu of remaining a Punk in Morocco. Between irony and self-mockery, Stof guides us through his quirky universo: from punk concerts to the tedium of his daily life, through his happy reunión with long lost Friends. From the carelessness of youth to the darker moments of loneliness, Stof continues his quest for freedom with pride and dignity.
