SIHAM (working title)

Siham learns on her way home at night that her daughter is hiding in a bar from the gunfire of a far-right terrorist group – Desperation, fear, and hopelessness lead her further and further into a downward spiral: can Siham save her daughter despite the police‘s failure?

The mother Siham is played by Syrian-born Amal Omran, one of the most accomplished actresses in the Arabic world, who has worked in the theatre with Ariane Mnouchkine, Tim Supple, and Omar Abusaada, among others.

SIHAM is the second collaboration between director Zeyn and producer Sahin after their award-winning short KILLING BAGHEERA which was selected for this year’s Next Generation Short Tiger programme.
