Drama

Synopsis

Everyone in his village believes that Zein is a simpleton, an amiable buffoon. Thus, his braying laughter and public declarations of love for village maidens only win laughter rather than anger, beatings or worse. However, Haneen, a wandering Muslim holy man, perceives something more in Zein.
