Birds Should Have Been Released

2023 15 min Arabic

Adam, a taxi driver, is grappling with haunting visions of his wife and daughter who recently drowned. These images have driven him to escape the confines of his home, taking refuge in his trusty taxi. Along the way, he encounters an old man who regales him with a timeless tale of resurrection — prompting Adam to fulfill the legend, and ultimately confront his own destiny in solitude.
