Following the success of
Maktoub and Ali Zaoua,
director Nabil Ayouch is back
with a new feature film.
'Whatever Lola Wants', which
uses the story of an American
girl in Cairo to discuss
'culture clashes' and
tolerance, is garnering raves
in Morocco and abroad.

Lola is a 25-year-old American
living in New York. Her best
friend is a gay Egyptian named
Youssef who moved to the same
city so that he could live the
life he wanted. In the
restaurant where Youssef
works, Lola meets Zack,
another Egyptian. They begin a
relationship, but Zack leaves
Lola and returns to Cairo
after recognising the cultural
differences which separate
them.

Having fallen head over heels
in love with Zack, Lola
impulsively decides to follow
him. When she arrives in
Cairo, however, she is
disappointed by Zack’s
attitude and the cold
reception she receives from
his family. The young American
then decides to find the
famous Egyptian dancer,
Ismahane. Their meeting, which
turns the women's lives upside
down and shatters their
prejudices, is the moment of
reconciliation and dialogue
between cultures which defines
the movie.
