In a coastal town where women are forbidden to sing, a teenage boy with an unusual gift joins a singing competition. Will he reveal his true voice?
Awarded a Short Film Special Distinction at this year’s Cannes, Adnan Al Rajeev’s eerie, atmospheric work unravels in a rural village transported into the realm of fable, in which lotus flowers drift on spectral lakes and a shroud of mist hangs above the landscape. This tender parable of gender expression in a repressive society is conveyed through a remarkable, singular vision.
