The first film ever made by a Bedouin filmmaker offers a solid exploration of writing as a therapeutic tool for addressing the past and present traumas of our main characters and ties it nicely with the complexities of distant relationships.

Nevertheless, the parallel plot, which drives much of the conflicts of our character, involving the suffered sexual abuse, wedding arrangement, and relationship with his wife feel considerably underdeveloped.

While the core themes are compelling, the execution falters, leaving some storylines feeling incomplete.
