Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during peak Syrian civil war coverage, yet Western festivals largely ignored this Palestinian-Syrian co-production—proving its own thesis about whose wartime stories get told.
The three time periods remain deliberately unspecified; Al-Khatib wanted viewers to recognize that 'the war' is continuous for women in the region, not historical artifact.
