Our take

The first Jordanian film to play at Cannes, Amjad Al Rasheed’s passionate feature debut tackles the country’s legal and social hurdles surrounding single motherhood. Full of vulnerability and strength, Mouna Hawa’s breakout performance powerfully articulates the unstoppable force of maternal love.
