You don’t have to be a basketball fan to enjoy this wildly entertaining investigation into why the Vancouver Grizzlies left Canada over 20 years ago. To die-hard fans, the team’s abrupt move to Memphis in 2001 is much more than a sore spot – it’s an unsolved mystery and a possible criminal conspiracy.

Halim & Mina run a traditional caftan store in one of Morocco’s oldest medinas. In order to keep up with the demands of their customers, they hire Youssef, a talented young man who shows an utmost dedication in learning the art of embroidery and tailoring from his perfectionist employer.

What begins as a superfan’s dogged determination to uncover the reasons behind her ill-fated hometown team’s puzzling disappearance becomes a love letter to the worst professional sports franchise in history and an exploration of the deep roots of fandom. The Grizzlies were more than just an NBA team –they taught an entire community to dream big and to persevere against the odds.

Slowly Mina realizes how much her husband is affected by the presence of the young man, and she begins to suspect that their relationship may involve more than the sharing of traditional craftsmanship. What lies ahead in this triangle of adoration will break all three of th unexpected ways.

A huge hit at the Vancouver International Film Festival, this compelling true crime story seamlessly blends comedy with the filmmaker’s quixotic quest for truth and redemption, exploring the powerful connection fans have with their hometown teams, win or lose.
