Mount Tropic, A Story of the Lockdown

About This Movie

Mount Tropic is this raw, intimate documentary that captures the essence of two Moroccan friends, Agadiri and Oussama, as they navigate life in Spain under lockdown. The film's pacing is slow but deliberate, allowing you to really absorb their expressions and the nuances of their interaction with each other and the world around them. There's a palpable sense of confinement, not just in a physical sense, but also in their uncertain futures. The use of close-ups adds a layer of vulnerability—you're almost breathing the same air as them. It's distinct in its approach; it feels less like a typical documentary and more like a visual diary, blending reality and art in a way that’s both haunting and poetic.
