[Venice '25] A film that speaks about the freedom of three generations of women who have carried their stories in silence and the different ways of accepting it: those who understand it as resistance, those who seek it in flight, and those who claim it within Saudi society itself. The reflection of cultural diversity in the desert is manifested through the languages ​​spoken throughout the film: Arabic, Urdu, Turkish... and the interdependent relationships that the characters must endure, which is one of the fundamental elements that allows this film to distance itself from others that also address female perspectives in Arab societies.
