A WORD FROM DIRECTOR IBRAHIM MURSAL
Why this story
What happens when two parts of your identity are in conflict with each other? This was the question I started to explore four year ago. This film is a journey across worlds and cultures, art and religion, identity, gender and love. In a world being polarized with each social media post, an honest and humble conversation can do wonders, getting us out of our dogmatic worldviews. This film is one of those conversations.
