Soudade Kaadan | 2019 | 13m

Starring: Caress Bashar, Abdel Moneim Amayri

A Sundance’s Grand Jury prize winner, this short film tells the witty story of Ayman, a Syrian refugee in Lebanon, teaching his wife to drive his car, the only possession that has survived their displacement. The driving lesson quickly takes a wrong turn into madness and nostalgia.
