Ayman, Unscripted
Not every experience leaves a trace, but some quietly change you, and you rarely know which until long after. Unscripted Ayman is a personal and reflective documentary that revisits one man's time in El Jadida, the people he met, the things he learned about himself, and the slow realization that meaning doesn't always show itself in the moment it's lived. It's a film about looking back and asking: was I simply passing through, or did it truly matter? A short poetic documentary by Framed in Marrakech.

In the summer of 1963, François Mitterrand was going through a deep existential crisis. His political career was at a standstill and, after 19 years of marriage, the couple had grown apart. It was at this point that François Mitterrand met the woman who was to give new meaning to his life. Anne Pingeot, aged 19, was to become the companion of a lifetime, a woman who would be with him throughout his rise to power and who would remain by his side until his last breath. For the first time, Anne Pingeot has agreed to allow the fragments of this passionate love story — hundreds of letters and a diary — to be shown on television, before being donated to the National Library.
