Marrakech — On September 17, Casa Guira will hit theaters nationwide, bringing with it a whirlwind of comedy, action, and pure chaos.
The film reunites globally-renowned filmmaker RedOne, with actor-director Omar Lotfi, following their success with L’Batal. It promises to deliver an experience that blends laughter and adrenaline in equal measure.
At the heart of Casa Guira is Ismaïl, a man who is released from prison after serving 12 years for a gold heist gone wrong.
He quickly reconnects with Nassim, his childhood friend who has just returned from Turkey, and together they set out on a seemingly simple mission: find the missing chest of gold.
But the twist is as absurd as it is ingenious, the man who knew the treasure’s hiding place has died, and the map revealing its location is tattooed across his back.
What follows is a treasure hunt unlike any other, set against the bustling streets of Casablanca.
From funerals that spiral out of control to surreal hospital visits, botched prison plans, fake doctors, and disastrous weddings, every attempt to reach the gold turns into a larger-than-life catastrophe.
Betrayals, shocking revelations, and high-speed chases keep the stakes high, while the comedic tone ensures the audience never stops laughing.
The film’s energy is fueled by an ensemble cast of some of Morocco’s best-known talents, including Omar Lotfi, Anas El Baz, Karima Guit, Rachid Rafik, Ilyas El Maliki, and El Mehdi Chehab. Each actor brings their own spark to this explosive story, balancing the humor with moments of suspense and action.
Directed by Omar Lotfi and written by El Mehdi Chehab, Casa Guira is produced under RedOne Films, with dialogue in Moroccan Darija and subtitles available in both French and English to reach a wider audience.
Running at a fast-paced 105 minutes, the film is designed to appeal to both Moroccan viewers and international audiences curious about the country’s evolving cinema scene.
For RedOne, producing Casa Guira is part of a larger vision to showcase Moroccan stories with universal appeal.
“I truly believe in Moroccan cinema and the new generation of storytellers,” he said.
“With Casa Guira, I wanted to support a film that is original, funny, and accessible to everyone. Morocco has unique and powerful stories to share, and I’m proud to be part of this journey.”
