Description

The film is a parable about the dangers of blind faith in religion and authority, but it’s also warmly compassionate and accepting of human nature. After the ceremony, the baby's father Alnoor (Talal Afifi) can’t cope; he leaves the village to work abroad, telling his wife, Sakina (Islam Mubarak), that she's stronger, she'll manage. And she does, dressed in black as if her son Muzamil is already dead; understandably, she becomes overprotective. Finally, when he's a boy of six or seven with a soulful expressive face (played beautifully by Moatasem Rashed) she lets him go to school where he's bullied and nicknamed "son of death" by the other boys. This Hin Screening is a collaboration between Hin Bus Depot and Alliance Francaise de Penang. Drop an email to team@hinbusdepot.com for enquiries.
