Synopsis:

The Van Loock family and the Fawzi family both live in Kassablanka, a popular multiethnic district of Antwerp. Mr. Van Loock is a rabid supporter of the extreme right-wing political party Flemish bloc. Mr. Fawzi, a Moroccan immigrant, is a conservative Muslim. In October 2000, one week prior to a hotly contested national election, 17-year-old Leilah Fawzi falls for 19-year-old Berwout Van Loock. This development sparks a sometimes hilarious and sometimes politically incorrect love story that explores the thin walls between love and hate.

Directed by Ivan Boeckmans, Kassablanka revolves around two families - the Van Loock's and the Fawzi's, respectively. Though their religious and political convictions are opposite, the families begin to splinter from within after the results of a local election, and an unlikely love affair begins. The film features Roy Aernouts, Mo Barich, Amid Chakir, and Patricia Chenut.

Seventeen-year-old Leilah, a smart girl from a conservative Muslim family who falls in love with her nineteen-year-old neighbour Berwout, son of a neo-fascist Flemish nationalist. The often hilarious and politically incorrect story is set in Kassablanka.
