She built a whole new life—until the daughter she abandoned came knocking.
After abandoning her four-year-old daughter in Lebanon to pursue a better life in Quebec, Sana cuts every link to her Lebanese ties and never looks back. That is until her daughter, now 21, shows up in Montreal for a visit. This film explores what it means to be free for a woman.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Zéhil, herself Lebanese-Québécois, made this partially autobiographical—she once said the film asks what liberation costs women who leave everything behind.
The title's 'window' is literal: Sana watches her old life from glassed-in safety, never fully inside either world.
