DUE TO LOVE
Logline
After living in Europe for some time, a young woman visits her Middle-Eastern family for just one dinner. But the past haunts her with memories of her unspoken lesbian relationship. How much longer can she hold it together?
Director's Note
This film is quite personal. I had the necessity to speak about certain taboos that really haunted me, and channelled them into my Graduation Film, also to dig deep into why we hurt the ones we love the most, and learn to understand them, regardless of the moral gap.
I don't think the topic of queerness in the Middle-East is shown enough in movies, and I'm happy I had the chance to have my own share of it.
