Amal
This experimental short movie is about a young man who left his mother to try to fill his destiny and reach his goals
He calls his mother but as we see no one is answering because she was also gone
You may see his sorrow through his emotional expressions and hear it from his broken voice..
I had to do this movie in Arabic because my mother understands only Arabic.. As the matter of fact this is my story and I wanted to express my craving for her through this video. And I wanted to show her how much she means to me, how I got lost since I left her and I finally realized that she was my home and my safess.
