Drama

Overview

A visual poem about memory, identity, and the quiet beauty of Bahrain. Moving through palm trees, fishermen, and old streets, the film blurs the line between hazy memory and vivid reality — a meditation on what it means to belong to a land, and the fear of watching it slowly disappear. An experimental film with no dialogue, only feeling.
