About This Movie

The film captures the conflicting desires of Hossein, a teenager yearning for freedom, and his mother Naïma, who embodies the weight of past tragedies. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the emotional landscape to unfold slowly, emphasizing the internal struggles between aspiration and obligation. Performances are grounded, with a raw authenticity that pulls you into their world. The cinematography beautifully contrasts the vibrancy of the city with the starkness of their journey south, creating an atmosphere that feels both expansive and claustrophobic. It's this blend of personal narrative and social commentary that makes it distinct.
