Born in Cairo into a family of filmmakers, the director grew up between a mother absorbed by her work and nannies who provided her with emotional care. Her mother, the niece of Egyptian filmmaker Youssef Chahine, devoted her life to cinema, leaving behind a sense of absence throughout her childhood. As she prepares to become a mother herself, she questions her mother’s life choices and the price of her emancipation.
