The absolute truth lies in the notions of life and death...fertility indeed is the miracle of creation. But does it answer the question of happiness, or is it just an illusion? In a forgotten corner of Egypt lives a woman who is yearning for a child. Having no option but to live on the fringe of her community because of her infertility, Hanan lingers between a dream that is slowly slipping away and her struggle to find a place where she belongs. While everything that surrounds her bustles with fertility and mortality, she wonders how to give meaning to the time that she has in between.

In a forgotten corner of Egypt lives a woman who is yearning for a child. Living on the fringes of her community because of her infertility, Hanan lingers between her dream that is slowly slipping away and her struggle to find a place where she belongs. While her surroundings oscillate between fertility and mortality in equal measure, she is wondering what we are supposed to do, with the time in between.—Carthage Film Festival
