Nezha Rahil portrays Kenza in Fouzi Bensaidi's "What a Wonderful World."

Made in 2006, "What a Wonderful World" tells the story of a bizarre love triangle between Souad, a prostitute, her favorite customer, a contract killer, and her best friend, a traffic cop. When Souad's best friend and favorite customer fall in love, they struggle to evade the issues posed by their conflicting careers against the background of modern-day Casablanca.

The 94-minute film is in French and Arabic with English subtitles. It will be shown in Room 105 at the Olin Arts Center, 75 Russell St. Admission is $5.

"What a Wonderful World" is Bensaïdi's second feature film. Born in Meknes, Morocco, in 1967, he studied at the Rabat Institute of Dramatic Art. His films "The Wall" and "The Rain Line" won prizes at the Cannes and Venice international film festivals.
