El houb - Expat Cinema Rotterdam

Shariff Nasr

Miss seeing international films because you can’t yet keep up with the Dutch subtitles? Want to meet fellow expats and new Dutch folks? Love cinema? Then this is the event for you! Curated international films with English subtitles and networking drinks. Join Expat Cinema Rotterdam for the best international art house cinema with English subtitles and networking drinks afterwards.

When the Moroccan-Dutch Karim is caught by his father, he rushes to his parental home to start the conversation about his sexuality. But how do you discuss the elephant in the room within a family that by definition avoids sensitive topics? Especially with a meddling neighbor who is always buzzing around the house at the wrong time. The difficult days that follow bring back beautiful and poignant memories. Karim realizes he must confront his family to finally break the deafening silence. But can he expect acceptance from his family if he has never come to terms with his own feelings? El houb (Love) is the poignant and witty directorial debut of Shariff Nasr, starring Fahd Larhzaoui and award-winning actors Lubna Azabal (Incendies, Adam) and Slimane Dazi (Un prophète).
