Abdellah is a young gay man navigating the sexual, racial and political
climate of Morocco. Growing up in a large family in a working-class
neighborhood, Abdellah is caught between a distant father, an
authoritarian mother, an older brother whom he adores and a handful of
predatory older men, in a society that denies his homosexuality. As a
college student, Abdellah moves to Geneva and while faced with the new
possibilities of freedom, he grapples with the loss of his homeland.
SALVATION ARMY, the directorial debut for Abdellah Taïa – an acclaimed
Moroccan and Arab writer – is adapted from his novel of the same name.
Taïa is the first writer of his descent to speak out openly about his
homosexuality.
