Zahra

In Zahra, the title character navigates the complexities of life as a machinist in a clothing factory during her final trimester of pregnancy. Her financial struggles are compounded by her husband's absence as he searches for work, leaving her to fend for herself.

The film explores themes of desperation and survival, culminating in a critical moment when Zahra must confront the prospect of an unexpected Caesarean delivery. With little means to afford the procedure, she is driven to contemplate a drastic plan inspired by a radio discussion.

With a narrative deeply rooted in social realism, Zahra presents a powerful portrait of a woman's fight against the odds. The performances by Maria Zreik and Majd Eid add depth to this poignant story that resonates with contemporary issues faced by many.
