Synopsis

Our take

Named after the Berber-Roman remains of a Moroccan town, Volubilis witnesses love endure against wreckage. While present-day corruption echoes across the ancient ruins, an incredible series of amorous gazes shared between the central couple set the screen alight in this enthralling melodrama.
