Goodbye Julia (120 minutes, Sudan-Egypt-Germany-France-Sweden-Saudi Arabia, 2023)
This film tells a personal, intimate story set against the backdrop of a historical event which divided the country in two.
Tormented by guilt after covering up a murder, Mona, a retired singer from northern Sudan living in a strained marriage, tries to make amends by taking in the deceased man’s widow, Julia, and her son, Daniel.
Directed by Mohamed Kordofani, this is his debut feature and the first Sudanese film to be presented as part of the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival. The director paints an intimate portrait of loss, remorse, forgiveness and racial discrimination, magnified and contextualized amid major political conflicts in late 2000s Sudan.
After the film screening, a colloquium will be held with a participant from the Casa del Sudán, moderated by Karim Hauser, Casa Árabe’s Culture Coordinator.
