PÖFF30 | Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival | 6-22 november 2026 | Cinema Artis
In the quiet fog of the Bekaa Valley, on the border between Lebanon and Syria, someone sets fire to a truck, and with it a spark of trouble spreads through a tightly woven Bedouin community. Gamra is gone – maybe hiding, maybe running – and her cousin Yasser takes to the roads to find her. The deeper he looks, the more he runs into old grudges and the slow, burning logic of revenge.
Back home, his sisters, Jawaher and Rim, are chosen to make things right. They are not asked but offered. One is calm, the other resists, but both know how quickly girls can be traded for peace. This is a film about what happens in the quiet, in fields, behind curtains, inside vans. It is about women who carry too much, men who speak in codes and a land that holds its breath, waiting for something to end... or begin.
The film premiered in the prestigious Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival.
