LEWISTON — The Global Lens film series at Bates College will continue with “What a Wonderful World,” by Moroccan director Faouzi Bensaïdi, with 8 p.m. showings on Friday, Dec. 4, and Sunday, Dec. 6.

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.

“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.
