Mid-1990s, a little town in Morocco and a seemingly ordinary family. Fouad is dedicated to his work in local postal services. He is climbing network masts and tries to keep people’s connections running. He radiates warmth and is the soul of his family and local community. Until one day, his health begins to deteriorate and his mind starts to fade. Each day, his neurological disease gets worse and paralyzes his physical and mental health. Loved ones of Fouad are facing the challenge of reconciling the changing family dynamics and a fading life.

The film focuses on a woman whose husband is turning more and more into a child and a son who has to take on a parental role. With admirable strength, love and unity, they resist the twists and turns of life and learn to cope with the changes in Fouad as well as in themselves.

„Life Suits Me Well“ is a bold and honest film about the director’s personal experience, which he masterfully translates into visual language. Regardless of the tragic story, the author tells it with a certain lightness as well as precision of a mature director. The film is crowned by wide shots, beautiful landscapes and colours typical of Morocco.
