I've come to realize that love and acceptance are essential for coping with mental illness. I strongly wanted to delve into the complex relationship between a mother and her child, and the healing power of acceptance and hope, even in the darkest times. And the critical need for psychiatric help for adolescents, as the risks of inaction far outweigh the risks of seeking treatment. This story speaks not just to families in the Arab world but also to mothers and families everywhere who struggle with identifying and addressing their children's mental health issues. It's a universal story of love, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit. By exploring the mother's journey of acceptance towards her son's undiagnosed mental illness, I intend to offer a nuanced and empathetic portrayal of mental health struggles within Arab societies, without turning the film into a social commentary. The backdrop of social stigma surrounding the family and the boy’s mental health serves as a subtle yet significant reminder of the challenges faced by those struggling with mental illness in the region. As this marks my debut feature, I made the decision to speak about something very personal in my life and distinct from what Arab films typically address, which often focus on politics or controversial issues. I am hoping that this intimate film, which is centred on human psychology and intricate characters, will be emotionally moving and offer a new perspective on a topic that requires much more attention in our part of the world.
