Winner of the Armani Beauty audience award at the 2022 Venice film festival, Kaadan’s film weaves dark humour and magical realism to deliver a delicate human story with universal appeal.

“I believe that the female gaze and lens is different, especially in war movies…women are more interested in the micro changes unravelling in the family or in society” - Soudade Kaadan

Fourteen-year-old Zeina and her family are the last holdouts in their once-bustling Damascus neighbourhood. When a missile tears through their home, it leaves behind more than destruction: a vast, gaping hole that opens their sealed world to the sky. One day, a rope drops mysteriously through it, offering Zeina her first glimpse of freedom—and a dangerous taste of possibility she never imagined. As her parents disagree on whether to stay or leave their beloved home, Zeina is torn between loyalty and survival.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see Nezouh, presented by The Arab Film Club and in conversation with Director, Soudade Kaadan.
