Samia

Original title: سامية

Directed by Hamza Al-Khatib

Samia — a young aspiring dancer — is diagnosed with cancer and, after undergoing treatment, begins the tough journey of mental and physical changes that cause her to withdraw from life and isolate herself. Her illness also takes its toll on her husband Samir, who tries to support her, but she pushes him away. When Samir notices that music still attracts Samia’s attention, he tries to use it to lift her spirit and bring her out of her isolation.
